   CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are mixed after U.S. markets were
higher on Monday with both the Dow and the S&P 500 making new lifetime highs.
Equity markets are pricing in a less dramatic response to the Iranian missile
attack with reports that Isreal has told the Biden administration that they
will target military targets, and not oil production or nuclear energy
production. Oil prices are down sharply this week, providing some support to
world economies that have cheaper costs as a result. Chinese markets rallied on
Monday but are lower Tuesday morning as traders are still unimpressed with the
new stimulus measures announced by the Chinese government.

   The only data point to be released Tuesday will be the empire state
manufacturing survey, although we will have speeches from two members of the
Federal Reserve.

   OUTSIDE MARKETS: Previous closes Monday showed the Dow Jones Industrial
Average up 201.36 at 43,065.22 and the S&P 500 up 44.82 at 5,859.85. The
10-Year Treasury yield ended at 4.098%. Early Tuesday, the December Dow Jones
Futures are up 9 points. European markets are mixed with the spot futures of
London's FTSE 100 trading down 0.47%, spot futures of Germany's DAX is trading
up 0.28% and the spot futures of France's CAC 40 Index down 0.73%. Asian

Composite Index down 1.8%.
