Yahoo Finanza E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index (NQ) Futures Technical Analysis – Strongest of the Three Major Indexes
June E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index futures are trading higher on Wednesday, helped by a jump in shares of Netflix, which reported earnings after the previous session’s close. A stable crude oil market after two days of steep selling pressure is also contributing to the early session strength.
The streaming company, Netflix, posted an increase of 15.8 million paid subscribers in its first quarter earnings Tuesday, far higher than expected. It headed into that report with its stock up a massive 36% so far this year, bucking the broader sell-off.
At 08:37 GMT, June E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index futures are trading 8539.75, up 108.00 or +1.28%.
