US Stock futures are perky at the start of the week in Asia with futures on the S&P 500 adding 0.2%, the Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.3% and the DJIA higher by 80 points.
The moves are promising considering the terrible performance of the indexes of late wit bit the S&P 500 and the Dow ending in a fourth straight negative week on Friday and the first time since August 2019 that the two indexes have suffered such a losing streak.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq eked out a 1% gain last week, posting its first positive week in four as the technology sector rebounded slightly from the recent deep rout.
As argued in the following weekly analysis for the S&P 500, the signs that there are still chances of a further fiscal stimulus bill before the election day could give stocks a boost to start the week.
