Markets
U.S. officials head to Shanghai Monday, trying once again to secure a trade agreement with China or at least more meetings to keep the process going. USDA will release weekly export inspections at 10 a.m. CDT, followed by the 3 p.m. Crop Progress report. Updated crop ratings for row crops and spring wheat will get the most attention, along with this week's weather forecasts.
Weather
Monday features a swath of light to moderate rain in the central Midwest, benefiting pollinating corn and flowering soybeans. Dry conditions will be in place elsewhere. Conditions will be cool north and seasonal to above normal in other areas.
