US stock futures hold gains after Apple results- Nasdaq 100 in focus

Apple plans to buyback some $110 billion of its own stock. The Nasdaq 100 had already post a positive close last night, gaining 1.29% on the day, at 17,541. The index future has been pricing a reopening at above 17,700 earlier today. It is right now pricing it at around 17,645
