Futures Rise Ahead Of Payroll Revisions, FOMC Minutes Global markets and US equity futures rose as investors awaited the annual BLS payrolls revisions - where as many as 1 million jobs can be eliminated - due at 10am ET, as well as the FOMC meeting minutes for further clues on interest rate cuts. US equity futures pointed to small moves at the Wall Street open as Europe’s Stoxx 600 edged 0.2% higher amid thin volumes while Asian stocks snapped a 3-day winning spree. As of 7:45am S&P futures were up 0.2% at 5,629 having fully recovered from the early August swoon; Nasdaq futures also gained 0.2%. The yield on 10-year Treasuries was steady at 3.81%, while the dollar paused a three-day run of declines. Oil was flat, halting the recent rout. In premarket trading, technology stocks dipped on concerns over the country’s consumption outlook, Walmart’s planned sale of its stake in JD.com Inc. and poor earnings from key players including Kuaishou Technology. JD.com ADRs dropped 7% after Walmart raised about $3.6 billion by selling its stake in the Chinese e-commerce firm.
