US PMI data revised ever so slightly higher - Nasdaq 100 falls in early trading

The US stock markets have recently reopened and it has been a mixed start to the session, where the underperformance in early trading has been highlighted in the Nasdaq 100. That was the clear case for most of the morning across the futures markets, where the Nasdaq 100 was in the red due to losses in the grey market for Alphabet (GOOGL). The Dow Jones and the S+P 500 fared better on the opening, thanks in part to a further rebound here in Europe. The FTSE 100 had pushed above 8,600 ahead of the US opening and the DAX was extending a move back above 21,525. The final revisions to those US PMI readings have just been released and they have just marginally beaten forecasts by just 0.1. The next and more important US data will shortly drop across the screens, at 3pm GMT and that is the January ISM service sector index. The Nasdaq 100 is right now trading at 21,470
