Nasdaq 100 futures holding gains as DAX does now vault 18k

Following on from the previous update on the DAX, the German benchmark index has now lifted above 18k. The move through this level has not extended much yet and that is probably due to some sellers looking to take advantage of the move, to either get out of that which they did not last week, or buyers lower down banking some decent gains over the past 9 trading days. At the same time, the US futures are of course still in positive territory and in relative terms it is the Nasdaq 100 that is faring best of all just now. That is mostly because the index underperformed the Dow and the S+P yesterday. As earlier noted, the Nasdaq 100 barely made any progress yesterday, closing just 16 points higher, at 19,022. The index is currently priced to reopen around 19,100
