CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are mixed as traders try and assess the initial actions from the Trump administration while keeping an eye on market data that will influence actions from the Federal Reserve. U.S. markets are stronger to begin the week, as most of executive orders from the new President were anticipated, and there were no orders that impacted tariffs. Tariffs remained a part of President Trump's rhetoric during Monday's various speeches, but world leaders breathed a sigh of relief that there may be time for negotiation to try and influence the ultimate outcome. New data to be released this week include U.S. leading economic indicators on Wednesday, initial jobless claims on Thursday, with existing home sales, consumer sentiment, and the S&P flash PMI's on Friday.
