The U.S. Labor Department will release the consumer price index for March at 7:30 a.m. CDT, the only official report of the day. Traders will keep a close watch on the latest weather forecasts and on any export sales news that emerges.
Weather
Periods of snow will continue in the far northern Plains Tuesday. Moisture from the snow offers slight relief from extreme drought. We'll also see scattered rain showers in the western and southern Plains and southern Midwest which will disrupt spring field work. Temperatures are on a notable cooling trend throughout the central U.S. this week, slowing planting and crop development.
