   CME Globex Recap:

   Equity markets around the globe are sharply weaker overnight with U.S.
futures pointing toward heavy selling at the Wednesday cash open. Financial
media continue to point toward rising coronavirus cases around the world, and
the expected lockdown measures that could be forthcoming, hurting the economic
recovery at the same time politicians struggle to agree on a stimulus plan in
the United States. Energy markets are sharply weaker overnight as well with
crude oil back below $38.00 per barrel, off over 4.0% on the session. Precious
metals are no haven at the moment with both gold and silver down 0.7% to 1.2%
overnight. Grains are not insulated from the asset-wide selling, and when
combined with more favorable outlooks in the U.S. Southern Plains, South
America and Black Sea, the overnight pressure seems a bit easier to explain.
Corn and soybeans are looking at their first meaningful corrective phase since
the end of September, which could be a healthy thing from a long-term
perspective. Spreads are relaxing a bit on the sell-off but whether cash
follows suit will be important.
