Markets
On Tuesday, the Federal Reserve begins a two-day meeting, which ends with a decision on interest rates on Wednesday. U.S. consumer confidence and pending home sales are Tuesday's only official reports, both set for 9 a.m. CDT. Weather forecasts remain of interest through harvest and any trade moves by China get close attention.
Weather
Tuesday features dry but cold conditions in northern and central crop areas, slowing harvest progress. Light rain will be noted in the far Southern Plains. Southeastern areas will have a warmer pattern. Rain, snow and cold will cover much of the central U.S. Tuesday evening through Wednesday.
