No major economic data, no problem. US equities are looking to extend the early October gains into the new week today. Tech shares fell off on Friday amid a rotation into value but everything is falling back into place as we look to the session ahead. S&P 500 futures are up 0.4% with Nasdaq futures up 0.6% currently.
All of this is enough to keep the broader risk mood holding up although in Europe, the situation is a little more tentative. Most major indices in the region are lightly changed but French stocks are down 1.5% after just the first day of the new government as freshly elected prime minister Lecornu hands in his resignation already.
