Markets
Coronavirus concerns continue to dominate this week's trading and it seems appropriate to end the week on Friday the 13th. Friday's only official report is an index of consumer sentiment at 9 a.m. CDT. South American weather, trade news, and any virus-related topics will garner the bulk of traders' attention.
Weather
Friday features moderate to locally heavy snow and mixed precipitation in the southwestern Plains, with a swath of light rain eastward to the Delta. Other crop areas will be dry. Rain and snow coverage will spread throughout the central and southeastern U.S. through the weekend.
