Nasdaq 100 futures take another hit following US data releases

The US equity market futures are still in the red this afternoon as the US opening looms closer. The reaction across the three main index futures to the better than forecast US data has seen them fall back, but it is an uneven vista out there just now and one where the tech sector and the Nasdaq 100 is struggling the most of all right now. The index has fallen back to price an opening close to 20,700 now and that is some way below where the index closed last night, at 20,896. The Dow Jones and S+P 500 are faring better and still above the worst indicative opening prices seen earlier today.
