CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are mostly higher on Thursday after the U.S. market shrugged off a lower morning and managed to rally into Wednesday's close. The rally came after a worse than expected ISM services report indicating that the services sector is finally starting to cool off. This is another data point that could help drive a future rate cut. Traders are looking ahead to Friday's jobs report after the ADP data on Wednesday was a little stronger than trade expectations. Forecasts for Friday's report are for an increase of 169,000 jobs, and a steady unemployment rate at 4.1%.
