From the US
Pre-market futures suggest that today’s trading direction looked uncertain. In the previous trading session, Wall Street stocks ended mostly higher.
At time of posting, 🇺🇸 Dow Futures is up by 19 points or 0.06% higher to 33,497.00. While 🇺🇸 Nasdaq Futures is currently higher and up by 21.25 points or 0.16% to 13,664.75 and 🇺🇸 S&P Futures added 6 points or 0.14% higher to 4,177.50.
Sentiment look mixed from the early futures trading session. Investors and traders will be more cautious ahead of key data in the coming days as there were no major U.S. economic news in the last 24 hours.
In the upcoming event, we may expect high volatility ahead of Initial Unemployment Insurance Claims to be released at 8:30am on Thursday (New York Time). Economists are expecting lower forecast compared to previous report.
