   CME GLOBEX RECAP: World equity markets are lower on Friday morning, as
traders continue to worry about weak economic data and potential recession.
News that the longshoremen's union has authorized a strike which could impact
U.S. exports of many types of goods is partially responsible for weakness
Friday morning. Traders are also awaiting Friday morning's U.S. employment
report which is expected to show an increase of 161,000 jobs. A lower number
might indicate a slowing economy that could hurt stocks, but also could impact
the size of the rate cut in September.
