CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are beginning the week mostly higher after a strong U.S. market Friday that was supported by a jobs report that had lower-than-expected employment gains in the U.S. The report showed a gain of 175,000 jobs compared to the expectation of 240,000, and unemployment rose to 3.9%. This report, combined with last week's dovish comments from Fed Chairman Powell, had traders more confident that a rate cut could still occur sometime this year. The market data coming at us this week is very light, with consumer credit on Tuesday, wholesale inventories on Wednesday, Initial jobless claims on Thursday, and consumer sentiment on Friday. There will be several speeches from members of the Fed, which will be watched closely.
