   CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are mixed with U.S. markets
rebounding after a lower close on Wednesday. Traders are cautious with stocks
near lifetime highs and an uncertain interest rate outlook as members of the
Fed are providing contradictory guidance in their recent speeches. Wednesday's
stronger than expected existing home sales data had traders leaning back toward
the "higher for longer" case, which prompted the profit taking in equities.
Thursday morning, we will see initial jobless claims, flash PMIs, and new home
sales.
