Markets
There are very few government reports to talk about on Monday. DTN will be watching for any news over the weekend of reactions to the airstrike that took out the known terrorist and Iranian commander Soleimani. We will also be focusing on South American weekend weather and forecasts ahead. Monday's export inspections will be closely watched.
Weather
Mainly dry conditions or with only small areas with light precipitation through the key crop and livestock areas of the central and southeast U.S. Monday. No significant transportation concerns today. Rain through the Pacific Northwest and snow across the northern Rockies. In South America, southern Brazil continues on the hotter and drier side today while central Argentina has lingering rain after thunderstorms developed last night. The recent spell of hotter, drier weather over Rio Grande Do Sul, Brazil remains a concern.
