CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are lower on Friday morning, as traders continue to worry about weak economic data and potential recession. News that the longshoremen's union has authorized a strike which could impact U.S. exports of many types of goods is partially responsible for weakness Friday morning. Traders are also awaiting Friday morning's U.S. employment report which is expected to show an increase of 161,000 jobs. A lower number might indicate a slowing economy that could hurt stocks, but also could impact the size of the rate cut in September.
