Markets
Back from July 4th weekend, traders will catch up on Monday's latest weather forecasts and any trade news. USDA's grain inspections report is set for 10 a.m. CDT and Crop Progress follows at 3 p.m. with extra attention on the latest crop rating updates.
Weather
Monday will be hot and dry over the Midwest and most of the Plains. This combination is stressful to pollinating corn. Rain will be confined to thunderstorms in the Northern and far southeastern Plains along with the Gulf Coast.
