CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are lower on Tuesday morning, with China the notable exception as it returns from a week-long holiday. Concerns in the U.S. extend to insurance companies who are bracing for more losses with another hurricane baring down on Florida. Also concerning were downgrades of both Apple and Amazon by wall street firms who have worries about future earnings for those companies. Higher oil prices due to the escalation in the Middle east weighed on markets Monday as well. Monday's economic data point was the consumer credit report which said that the U.S. consumer increased their debt load by 8.9 billion dollars, well below the 13.2 billion that was forecast. This is both good and bad, as less debt for the consumer is good, but the lower spending may indicate less confidence in the future. Tuesday morning, we will get the U.S. trade deficit data.
