Nasdaq 100 opens slightly lower this afternoon

As mentioned here earlier today, yesterday the Nasdaq 100 was by some margin the best performing US stock market index. The Nasdaq 100 gains 495 points, to close at 19,839. Earlier today it was priced to open roughly unchanged, but it has just now reopened slightly lower. The Index has just kicked off the final session of the week, at 19,816. So it remains to be seen how this one will fare today, remembering too that it is Triple Witching Day today. The Nasdaq 100 could be set for a pretty volatile afternoon too, as tensions mount in the Middle East. Further reports will follow here on this one and the rest of the market after the 4pm London FX fix is out of the way. The Nasdaq 100 is currently trading at 19,825
