Markets
Traders will be poring over the details of Tuesday's executive order to keep meat processing plants open. The Department of Energy's weekly report of energy inventories includes ethanol production and will be important for Wednesday's grain markets. A report of first quarter U.S. GDP is due out at 7:30 a.m. CDT, followed by U.S. pending home sales at 9 a.m. and an announcement from the Federal Reserve at 1 p.m. CDT. News updates on coronavirus, weather and trade all remain topics of interest.
Weather
Light to moderate rain is in store for the eastern Midwest and Delta Wednesday, interrupting planting. Drier conditions elsewhere will favor progress. Strong winds through northern and central areas will cause additional topsoil drying and will stress winter wheat in the western and southwestern Plains.
