There is a contrast in the equities space at the moment, with tech shares looking buoyed since yesterday. There was a late retreat in Wall Street though, which is weighing slightly on the mood today. However, that is balanced out by a more positive mood seen in US futures. S&P 500 futures are up 0.5%, Nasdaq futures up 1.0%, and Dow futures up 0.2% at the moment.
