Equities Tick Higher Overnight

EQUITIES

The positive lead from Wall St., better than expected earnings from tech giant Alphabet and a lack of liquidity facilitated a move higher in the major regional equity indices that were open during Asia-Pac hours. The Nikkei 225 & ASX 200 added over 1.0% apiece as a result.

  • E-minis were flat to 1.0% higher, with the NASDAQ 100 contract leading the way in the wake of Alphabet’s firmer than expected earnings, which was supplemented by a better-than-expected earnings release from AMD. The DJIA contract likely lagged on the back of rotational flows.
