Nasdaq-100 futures had a strong start to the week, up over 2% and trading at 25,725, recovering about half of the selling pressure seen late last week. The price action was driven by a sentiment shift in the market, with the primary catalyst appearing to be the prospect of the US government reopening. All major equity index futures markets traded higher on the session, with Nasdaq-100 futures leading in relative strength, followed by S&P 500 futures up over 1.5%, and the Russell and Dow futures also trading higher. The tech sector, in particular, helped support the higher price action in Nasdaq-100 futures.
