Stock Futures Higher, But E-mini S&P Short of Wednesday Highs

EQUITIES
  • Continental equity markets are generally higher, but have faded off the session's best levels, with UK's FTSE-100 and Spain's IBEX-35 drifting into negative territory at the NY crossover.
  • Equity futures across the US are firmer, with the e-mini S&P back above the 4,400 level and around 15 points off the overnight lows. Weekly jobless claims data will be watched for any clues headed into Friday's payrolls release.
  • Europe's tech sector is leading the strength, with real estate and healthcare names also trading solidly. Consumer discretionary and materials sectors are the sole firms in the red.
