   CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are mixed Friday morning, with U.S.
markets a little lower but most world markets trading higher, catching up to
Thursday's higher U.S. close. Thursday's data points were as expected or
slightly better in the case of durable goods. Friday morning, we will get the
PCE data and that is an important report as it is the favored inflation
indicator for the Fed. Markets are quiet ahead of that release.
