US futures slip as Asian markets fall- check out the S+P 500 futures this morning
The US stock markets were not open yesterday. The last set of closures on January 8 were mixed and had seen the Nasdaq 100 underperform, where the Dow Jones and the S+P 500 had posted modestly higher closes. Overnight the Asian markets have mostly set lower closes heading into the weekend, led by mainland China and Japan. That has impacted the opening outlook for the US opening later today and pushed that lower. The broadest measure of that is the S+P 500 and the index last closed at 5,918.25. The path of the index ahead of the weekend will be subject to the US monthly jobs report at 1.30pm GMT. That data will of course arrive before the S+P reopens and right now that opening outlook is lower, currently back just above 5,900, but earlier today it was priced close to 5,875
