Once again it was another day of price swings for the US stock markets and another one where early session weakness was later reversed into the close. That said, not all three major indexes ended the session in the green. The Dow Jones was the outlier in that respect, as it closed just 11 points in the red. It was the Nasdaq 100 that turned the ship around and led the S+P 500 higher too. The index reversed a lower opening (19,192) and a session low at 19,095, to later jump back to 19,468. The index did not close much below that session high either, ending the day at 19,436, with a rise of 157 points. Overnight and so far this morning, the Asian markets are mostly modestly higher, but we are talking small percentage gains just now. The Nasdaq 100 futures are right now a little lower though, but of course that will chop and change many times in the next few hours, before live trading resumes. The Nasdaq 100 is right now priced to reopen around 19,400
