CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are mixed with U.S. and European markets lower while Asian markets are higher. Thursday's U.S. session finished with a slightly lower DJIA, but with gains in the S&P 500 and in the NASDAQ. The S&P 500 made another new lifetime high. PPI data released on Thursday was generally thought to be less inflationary than expected, and it confirmed the weaker CPI data from Wednesday. Initial jobless claims were higher than trade expectations. All in all, most of the data this week indicated a slowing of the U.S. economy which has been reflected in the 10-year note which has fallen to 4.24% this week. This has not translated to a weaker U.S. dollar as the European central bank lowered interest rates this week.
