There is some news just out concerning deals over the new Apple iPhone in China which might have added to the downside we are now seeing in the Dow Jones futures. That is debateable and besides, the move is very small at this stage in points terms. However, the Nasdaq 100 futures are now a little more in the red at the same time. That said, none of these moves amount to anything that cannot be quickly reversed when live trading resumes in around 30 minutes. At the same time, it would not come as much of a surprise to see the US stock markets give back some gains ahead of the weekend, considering how far they have come already this week. The DAX is coming a bit more off the top at the same time too. The Dow Jones futures are just now pricing the reopening at around 34,890, compared to a close last night at 34,907
