What DTN Is Watching
With USDA offices closed again on Friday, there are no government reports scheduled. Row crop bulls will look to build off strong closes on Wednesday, although it would be reasonable to expect another low volume trading session to close the week.
WeatherA small system is moving through the Great Lakes into the Mid-Atlantic for Friday. It is just warm enough to fall as rain, but cold enough at the surface for it to freeze, causing some significant freezing rain from Michigan through Pennsylvania. Temperatures remain warm overall for late December, though.
