   CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are mixed on Wednesday morning, as
European markets are a little higher, trying to catch up to Tuesday's small
rally in the U.S. while China has given back all the gains that occurred after
they reopened following a full week on holiday. Tuesday's rally was driven by
strength in the tech sector, which found support due to expectations of future
interest rate cuts and ideas that the sector had seen enough correction.

   Tuesday's economic data highlight was the trade data that showed the U.S.
deficit at $70.4 billion, slightly lower than trade expectations. Wednesday the
wholesale inventories will be released, and several members of the Fed will be
speaking.

   OUTSIDE MARKETS: Previous closes Tuesday showed the Dow Jones Industrial
Average up 126.13 at 42,080.37 and the S&P 500 up 55.19 at 5,751.13. The
10-Year Treasury yield ended at 4.033%. Early Wednesday, the December Dow Jones
