After Tech Selloff, Stock Futures Higher

U.S. stock futures are higher in premarket trading and rebounding from Friday’s sell-off.
The moves come after a volatile week and month for equities with the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 (NDX) falling over 3% on Friday and 6.7% in October. Despite the recent tech weakness, stocks finished October mixed with the Dow Index ($DJI) and the Small-cap Russell 2000 (RUT) rising last month.
Falling oil prices are supporting stock gains with WTI futures down more than 4% this morning to near $99.50 a barrel. Investor focus will be on earnings this week with Apple (AAPL) due after the close and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) reporting on Tuesday afternoon. Traders will also digest employment data this week with eyes on Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report.
