   CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are mixed, with the highlight  Monday
morning being the Chinese market which surged after the Chinese politburo
announced several stimulus measures to support housing prices and the Chinese
stock market. The U.S. market is quietly lower to begin the week, after a
strong week in U.S. equities where all three indexes made record highs at
various points during the week. Friday's jobs report was stronger than
anticipated but not enough to keep traders from believing that a rate cut will
come from the Fed at their meeting next week.
