CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are mixed after a profit taking session on Thursday in the U.S. With the closes on Wednesday at new record highs for both the S&P and the DJIA, traders took a breather on Thursday ahead of the very important employment report that will be released Friday morning at 7:30 a.m. CST. That report is expected to show job growth of 214,000 jobs and a slightly higher unemployment rate at 4.2%. A report with data much better than that could keep the Fed from lowering rates at their meeting later this month. OUTSIDE MARKETS: Previous closes Thursday showed the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 248.33 at 44,765.71 and the S&P 500 down 11.38 at 6,075.11. The 10-Year Treasury yield ended at 4.18%.
