As covered here ahead of the opening bell yesterday, the Nasdaq 100 was the best performing major US index in terms of the opening calls and it remained that way to the close. The index gained 286 points by the close and the 1.33% rise on the day compared to a 0.61% rise in the S+P 500 and just 0.30% for the Dow Jones. Of course the index was initially led by gains in Netflix, following their blowout results after the closing bell the night before. The stock ended 9.69% higher on the day, but it was not the best performing component. That mantle belonged to Arm Holdings, which piled on 15.93% yesterday. However, right now the Nasdaq 100 futures are lower. The index closed last night at 21,853. So, it did not actually come close to threatening the all time high it reached last year, at 22,133. The high seen was set at 21,943. The index is right now priced to reopen later today at around 21,735, which is pretty much on the lows seen so far this morning
