CME Globex Recap: Equities are rallying around the globe overnight with strong gains expected in the United States as investors appear the most optimistic about the coronavirus since the saga began. Sweeping restrictions across the U.S. and Europe appear to be having an effect on slowing the disease's spread, giving hope to the idea some sense of normalcy could be restored to the global economy this summer. There was also talk Monday that Washington could be moving closer to a fourth stimulus bill worth at least $1 trillion which would be focused on replenishing the programs in the last stimulus bill. Grain markets are mixed overnight with row crops firmer as wheat gives back Monday's rally. Traders are gearing up for Thursday's WASDE on which the USDA will incorporate the March 31 reports. Spring planting weather and each forecast will take on greater importance moving forward with ideas of a normal spring still possible across much of the Midwest.
