   CME Globex Recap: Global equities are mostly higher following the long
weekend in the United States with U.S. futures looking to add gains later
Tuesday morning. Investors seem encouraged by comments from the Biden
Administration, especially Janet Yellen, in their push to "act big" to shore up
the U.S. economy. Ms. Yellen said the U.S. should take advantage of record low
interest rates to provide more aid to the American people and kickstart the
economy. Last week, President-elect Biden unveiled a $1.9 trillion stimulus
package that would follow the $900 billion package just passed by President
Trump at the end of 2020. Energy markets are mixed overnight, The U.S. Dollar
