Market Holidays And Weather Markets

Here are the Top 5 things the DTN Newsroom is tracking for the week of June 18. Watch for coverage of these and other topics through the week on our subscription platforms as well as on DTNPF.com.

1. Markets take a holiday: The week kicks off with U.S. markets closed for the national Juneteenth holiday Monday. Electronic markets open at 7 p.m. CDT and DTN market updates will pick up Tuesday morning.

2.

There are chances of showers into the weekend, though trusting those inconsistent models at the moment makes a good meteorologist wince. We'll be updating thoughts through the week, and some background thoughts on where things stand in mid-June can be found here: https://www.dtnpf.com/….

Our morning Market Weather Outlook video, which picks up mid-morning Tuesday after the holiday, can be found here: https://www.dtnpf.com/….
