US stock markets open higher as dollar pares gains-check out the Nasdaq 100

The US stock markets have just this minute reopened for live trade and as expected and priced into the futures all day so far, it has been a higher start to the session for US stocks. The dollar is off the boil right now too. The USD/JPY is once again leading that relapse. It has now fallen back underneath the 143 handle, after topping out earlier this morning at 143.80. Consequently, both the GBP/USD and EUR/USD have edged higher, off their earlier lows. The Nasdaq 100 was priced earlier to reopen as high as 18,615. It has actually just now reopened at 18,579 and in percentage terms the tech sector index is performing best of all in very early trading. Once again we should be on the look out for relative shifts between the Nasdaq 100 and the Dow Jones, as rotation in and out would seem likely again today
