   CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are mixed with U.S. markets slightly
lower but many European markets higher as they are trying to catch up to the
strength in the U.S. markets on Friday. U.S. markets had a strong weekly close,
shrugging off the many concerns about future tariffs, and showing some optimism
that trade deals are going to emerge.

   This is a big week for economic data. On Tuesday, we get retail and
wholesale inventories, the Case-Shiller home price index, consumer confidence,
and the job openings (JOLT) report. Wednesday brings the ADP employment report,
1st quarter GDP, consumer spending, personal income, and the PCE index.
Thursday has initial jobless claims, ISM manufacturing, construction spending,
and auto sales. Finally, Friday brings the U.S. employment report.
Additionally, many companies will be announcing their quarterly earnings this
week, including four "Mag 7" companies. There are no monthly agricultural
reports this week.

Average up 20.10 at 40,113.50 and the S&P 500 up 40.44 at 5,525.21. The 10-Year
Treasury yield ended at 4.266%. Early Monday, the June Dow Jones Futures are up
