Nasdaq futures slip while European stocks open higher
Early Thursday reports show weaker US technology futures and a positive European open ahead of the US cash session.
US technology futures pointed lower early Thursday, while European stocks opened higher. The split follows Wednesday evening's sharp Nvidia reversal.
Nasdaq futures led the early US decline, with S&P 500 futures also lower. European benchmarks rose in opening trade, including Germany's DAX. These are early-session indications, not closing results or a prediction of where US stocks will open.
Corporate earnings are part of Europe's morning news: Siemens reported record quarterly orders and a new growth outlook, while Allianz raised the upper end of its operating-profit target. The US premarket and the European session are still underway.
