Markets
The latest weather forecasts will continue to be an important feature of Monday morning activity as will any trade news that develops. USDA's weekly report of grain export inspections is due out at 10 a.m. CDT and will be followed by a soybean crush report for July from the National Oilseeds Processors Association. USDA's Crop Progress report will be released at 3 p.m. CDT with many wondering if any crop rating decline will show up from last week's severe wind storm.
Weather
Monday will be dry across all primary crop areas. Temperatures will be seasonally warm in the Midwest and very warm to hot elsewhere. The dry pattern is indicated to remain through the end of August, leading to possible effect on filling crops. Dry and stressfully hot conditions will be notable in the western U.S. also.
