USDA's weekly export sales report is set for 7:30 a.m. CDT Friday, the same time the Labor Department posts the U.S. producer price index for August. USDA's Crop Production and WASDE reports are due out at 11 a.m. CDT Friday with a DTN webinar to follow at noon. Traders will continue to keep their eyes on the latest weather forecasts and any news of export sales.
Weather
Mild to hot and dry conditions on Friday will promote drydown and early harvest of crops across most of the country. Some showers will be possible in the Pacific Northwest, which would be favorable for winter wheat planting and establishment where they occur.
