CME Globex Recap: Global equities are quietly mixed around the globe Monday morning despite an important week for global trade and Middle East tensions. President Xi of China and President Trump are scheduled to meet this weekend in Japan on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit. Negotiators from both sides are expected to be working around the clock leading up to the meeting. Markets will also be watching moves by both Iran and the U.S. after tensions heated up to close last week. President Trump said in an interview this past weekend he does not want conflict with Iran but much could ride on actions taken by Iran as opposed to Washington. Grains are all higher Monday morning in the lead up to the USDA reports Friday. Markets will have a tough time making fresh highs in front of such high risk reports, although with heightened volatility, anything remains possible. Model-to-model weather will also take on increased importance as outlooks start peaking into July.
