Thursday Watch List

Markets
We will be watching jobless claims and housing starts out at 7:30 a.m. CST. as well as progress on COVID--19 infections, and the rate of spread. We will also be watching export sales out at 7:30 for any signs of China demand.

Weather
Moderate to heavy snow is in store Thursday from the central Plains to the eastern Midwest. Freezing conditions also extend from the south-central Plains through the Mid-South. Snow and accompanying well-below-normal temperatures will keep fieldwork and planting sidelined into late April over northern and central crop areas. Southern areas will have a dry and mild pattern for fieldwork during the next few days.
