FX.co ★ US Futures Resume Trading

Following a technical disruption at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, US stock futures resumed trading on Friday. The interruption was due to cooling system issues at a data center in the Chicago region. Traders, returning to the market after the Thanksgiving break, faced a shortened trading session with generally lower-than-average volumes. No significant economic data releases are expected today. Futures for the S&P 500 and Dow Jones have risen by 0.2%, while Nasdaq 100 futures show a 0.3% increase. Throughout November, the S&P 500 has declined by 0.4%, marking its first monthly drop since April. The Dow Jones has decreased by 0.3%, and the Nasdaq has fallen by more than 2%, ending a seven-month streak of gains, primarily due to early November worries about potentially overvalued AI stocks.
