   CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are mostly lower Monday morning as
traders remain bearish on U.S. trade policy and the impact on U.S. corporate
earnings. Major indices have closed lower for three of the past four weeks, due
primarily to uncertainty around tariffs and where the rates ultimately land.

   New economic data releases this week include U.S. leading indicators on
Monday, S&P flash PMI's, new home sales, and the Fed beige book on Wednesday,
jobless claims and durable goods on Thursday, and consumer sentiment on Friday.
