Markets
Thursday's reports start at 7:30 a.m. CST and include weekly grain export sales, U.S. jobless claims and an updated U.S. Drought Monitor. Weekly natural gas inventory follows at 9:30 a.m. CST. Weather forecasts and trade news still have interest for markets, but grain trading may be slow ahead of Friday's WASDE report.
Weather
A broad swath of rain and mixed precipitation will extend from the Texas Panhandle to the eastern Great Lakes Thursday. This includes locally heavy rain and flood threat in the southeastern Plains and northern Delta. Other areas will be dry. Harvest progress is favored in northern crop areas with this setup. Cold temperatures north will keep progress slow.
