There are no official reports on Tuesday's docket, but traders will still check in on the latest weather forecasts and pause at 8 a.m. CST to see if USDA has an export sales announcement. Markets are typically quiet the week leading up to Christmas, but can also be vulnerable to unexpected moves, especially with outside markets nervous about the latest spread of coronavirus.
Weather
Two separate systems are bringing showers to the country on Tuesday. One is moving across the north with snow showers from the eastern Dakotas through Michigan. Another is moving across the Florida Peninsula with scattered showers in the Southeast. Other areas will remain dry; another day of poor conditions for winter wheat in the southwestern Plains.
