CME GLOBEX RECAP: Equity markets were mixed overnight with Asia closing lower while European shares are higher following a difficult start to the week. U.S. futures are flat ahead of the release of the Federal Reserve meeting minutes from last month. Grabbing attention Tuesday was the 2- and 10-Year treasury yield curves inverting for the second time this year. That phenomenon is often looked to as a recession indicator. Energy prices are slightly higher overnight following Tuesday's rout with spot crude prices hanging just below $100.00 per barrel. The U.S. Dollar Index is making new highs for the move overnight, which should continue to weigh on commodity prices. Metals are weaker overnight. Grains are mixed overnight with wheat contracts and the soy complex higher while corn trades lower. Macro-influence is a bearish input with weather forecasts benign.
