Markets
The final day of July has a report on U.S. personal incomes and consumer spending at 7:30 a.m. CDT, along with the U.S. employment cost index. With soybeans getting closer to filling pods, the latest weather forecasts maintain high interest among traders as does any trade news.
Weather
Friday will be dry across northern and central crop areas. Rain will focus on the southern Midwest and portions of the Delta and Southeast with locally heavy amounts and some flood threat. Temperatures will be seasonally warm north and central, very warm south, and stressfully hot in the Far West and Northwest.
