Friday is apt to be a quieter day of trading in grains, vulnerable to last minute positioning ahead of Monday's WASDE report with the new planting survey. Weather and any news about trade continue to get the main attention. The U.S. Labor Department releases its producer price index at 7:30 a.m. CDT.
Weather
Dry conditions will be in place over the Midwest Friday, along with the Northern and central Plains. Showers and thunderstorms are in store for portions of the Southern Plains and northern Delta. Heat stress is likely in southern areas.
