US stock futures in positive territory now ahead of US durable goods orders at 12.30pm GMT

The latest US (September) durable goods orders will be released 12.30pm GMT. This is not the most important data release but it can have an impact on the markets, notwithstanding the fact that this data is quite often erratic and subject to revision. Ahead of this release the US equity futures are all in positive territory just now. In pure percentage terms across the three major indexes the gains are spread pretty evenly right now. The worst performing US index yesterday was the Dow Jones. The S+P 500 gained 0.21% due to the crossover in tech from the Nasdaq 100 and the 0.76% rise there. The Dow closed 140 points lower, at 42,374. The Dow Jones future have been pricing the opening above 42,500 a short while ago. It is just now priced to open around 42,490
