   CME Globex Recap: Equity markets are higher around the globe with U.S.
futures following suit as investors take solace in reports President Trump
hinted at a smooth transition of power to president-elect Joe Biden on Monday.
Markets are understandably nervous heading into Black Friday and the holiday
shopping season amid a global pandemic. Online retailers will be used more than
ever, accelerating a trend seen the past few years. Energy markets are stronger
overnight with spot crude oil futures above 43.00 per barrel and trading at the
highest level since March 6. Grain markets are solidly lower overnight with
nominal and percentage losses being led by corn which is down over 2.0%. Corn
and soybeans saw a rejection of some key resistance on Monday, although today's
weakness isn't enough to break the uptrends in place.
