Markets
As most Mondays have started lately, first attention will go to the latest coronavirus statistics as traders have learned to brace for bad news. Also of interest will be any updates on OPEC's plans, trade news that might pop up and the latest weather forecasts. USDA's weekly report of grain inspections is set for 10 a.m. CDT, followed by 2020's first Crop Progress report at 3 p.m.
Weather
Dry conditions will cover most primary crop areas Monday, except for light rain in portions of the western Midwest. Temperatures will be seasonal to above normal. This combination will allow for drying and fieldwork, including planting. Eastern Midwest planting is underway; much earlier than a year ago.
