Futures point to higher open amid economic data blackout
Market is Closed
[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +20.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +148.00.
Equity futures point to a mostly higher open, with the S&P 500 futures currently trading 20 points above fair value.
Markets were slated to see the release of weekly Initial Claims (Briefing.com consensus 220,000; prior 218,000) and Continuing Claims (prior 1.926 mln) at 8:30 ET, followed by August Factory Orders (Briefing.com consensus 0.8%; prior -1.3%) at 10:00 ET, but all of these data points have been postponed due to the ongoing government shutdown.
In the absence of the data, futures are trading in a relatively stable range amid a dearth of corporate news this morning.
