US stock markets kick off in the green- Nasdaq 100 lifts above 21,700 in early trading

The US stock markets have just reopened for the final session of the week and the month. The US futures were indicating a higher opening across the board this afternoon and that is what just payed out on the opening. The Nasdaq last closed at 21,508 and it just now reopened at 21,661. The Dow Jones just kicked off above 45k, officially at 45,054 and the S+P 500 a shade under the 6,100 handle. The Dow Jones is immediately falling back in the first minute or two of live trade and the Nasdaq 100 is heading in the opposite direction. The S+P 500 is somewhere in the middle of those two. Of course it is very early in the session, so it remains to be seen how this will play out today, especially as the month-end is looming tonight. So, will that deliver yet another higher close for the Nasdaq 100, or will month-end profit-taking get the better of it? The Nasdaq 100 is right now at 21,690
