   CME Globex Recap:

   Equity markets were mostly weaker overnight with U.S. futures holding steady
after the sharp sell-off Monday. Coronavirus cases continue to rise in Europe
and the United States, making new lockdown measures more of a threat than
seemed possible at the end of summer. In addition, it looks unlikely another
stimulus package will be made available before the U.S. election a week from
Tuesday. Pushing additional relief beyond the election subjects additional aid
to the uncertainty of a close election. Energy markets were firmer overnight,
although crude oil still sits below $40.00 per barrel. Crude oil at $40.00,
plus or minus a couple of dollars, feels like it could be the new normal for
the foreseeable future. The U.S. Dollar Index is slightly weaker while precious
metals are mixed. Grain markets are higher across the board, shaking early
losses at the overnight open. Corn futures are making new highs for the move,
keeping momentum studies pointed higher and bulls firmly in control.
