Asian stocks mostly higher today helps Nasdaq 100 futures rebound

Yesterday the combination of the results from Amazon and Apple pushed the US stock futures lower, despite modest beats on EPS and revenue from both firms. That was mostly due to neither really beating analyst estimates by that much and a good deal of trepidation over the outlook for Q2. Well, Asian stock markets are mostly higher today and that has helped to lift US futures in general, despite the grey market price of AAPL and AMZN both holding losses of 3% or more. The reason for that would seem to rest with news concerning a degree of optimism over US trade talks with China. The Nasdaq 100 was once again out in front when it came to the close despite falling back from a session high at 20,024. The index closed 215 points higher, at 19,786. The futures did fall after the closing bell and those two tech titan earnings reports and was pricing the opening towards 19,650 at one stage. Right now this morning the index is priced to reopen around 19,875
