Nasdaq 100 futures reclaim 19k as Yen weakens further

Since an earlier update here on the Nasdaq 100 and the earlier opening outlook, the index future has cadged a ride off the gathering gains here in Europe this morning. That has just now seen the index price an opening above 19k for later today. Of course that might turn around again, but right now the opening vista for all the US markets looks a lot brighter than it was a couple of hours ago before the European markets commenced trading. The drive higher in the Nasdaq 100 is delivering gains for the USD/JPY, although it seems like the Yen is not leading any of these moves right now, merely following them. The USD/JPY is close to lifting to a new rebound high above 154.32 though and that is not harming the Nasdaq 100 one bit. In fact the USD/JPY has just now pushed above that level and the Nasdaq 100 future is right now priced to reopen around 19,025
