Nasdaq 100 futures higher this morning after Crowdstrike avoids a close below $300

On Friday the noted IT havoc caused by a faulty patch sent to thousands of businesses around the world by the IT firm, Crowdstrike (CRWD) was covered in an update here. That had seen the share price of CRWD (now available to trade on the platform) slide below $300 on the opening (opened at $294.51 and reached a low at $290.10). The stock had closed on Thursday evening at $343.05. That weighed heavily on the Nasdaq 100 and sent a number of leading tech stocks lower into the close. Crowdstrike later closed 11.10% lower, at $304.96. So, the Nasdaq 100 also closed in the red by 182 points, at 19,522. However, as the dust settles today, the Nasdaq 100 futures are higher ahead of the European opening, currently indicating a reopening later today at around 19,645
