CME Globex Recap: Global equity markets are mostly higher overnight although U.S. futures are pointed to a lower open. Asian and European indices are rallying as fears of major retaliation from President Trump toward Hong Kong seem to largely be dying down. In addition, despite major protests bordering on full-blown riots across many U.S. cities this weekend, investors clearly view support from the Federal Reserve as paramount to anything else. Energy markets are weaker but maintaining a steady uptrend in crude oil with the spot contract trying to push above its 100-day moving average. Precious metals are mixed with gold slightly lower while silver is up 1.03% and trading at the highest level overnight since September 5. Grains are mixed overnight with corn and wheat mostly lower while the soy complex is posting gains after two-sided trading in soybeans. The focus in ag markets is chiefly on weather which looks quite favorable for row crops but dry for major wheat producers in the Northern Hemisphere. Traders were also fearful of a further deterioration in relations between the U.S. and China related to the Hong Kong security law but the focus in the U.S. is likely to be internal moving forward.
