The slightly more positive open owes to some catch up to the late rebound in Wall Street yesterday. The mood in US futures is more subdued today with S&P 500 futures down 0.2%, Nasdaq futures down 0.2%, and Dow futures also down 0.2% as well. All eyes are on the US retail sales data later today before the wild ride begins again.
