CME Globex Recap: Global equity markets are mostly better overnight as spillover support from the US and a breakthrough between Mexico and the United States on trade appears to be happening. Still nothing to speak of on the US/China trade front. The USD has slipped back below its 100 and 200-day moving averages with the 50-day just below at 92.69. Most commodities, including the energy sector are firmer on the forex weakness. Grains are clinging to small gains this morning but the calendar flipping to September will only bring more seasonal weakness.
