US equity markets open higher and advance in early trade -check out the Nasdaq 100

As expected and priced into the futures beforehand, the US equity markets did open higher this afternoon and despite some initial wobbly price action, all three indexes have advance a little further in early trading. Of course the day is yet young and the outlook remains circumspect, but so far the mood is a little more positive. That has helped the dollar to advance a bit further. The USD/JPY is back above 140.75 and the EUR/USD is edging back towards 1.1450. That said the dollar is by no means making any kind of meaningful gain at this stage. The gains across the Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones and S+P 500 are pretty much matching strides in the first 15 minutes of live trade, but the Nasdaq 100 is marginally the best of the three. The Nasdaq 100 opened today around the 18k level. It has now lifted above 18,100. It is currently trading at 18,130
