There are few government reports other than the Index of Leading Economic Indicators. We will also be watching for any change in South American weather, and any new corn or soybean export sales announced at 8 a.m. We continue to wait for the long-delayed CFTC Commitment of Traders report.

Temperatures behind the system are largely below-normal though some warmth is returning to the Northern Plains and Canadian Prairies.
