U.S. Stock Futures Rise - 2008/09/24 20:21
Good day, ladies and gentlemen. American markets will be the focus of this week again.
U.S. stock-index futures rose after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. won a $5 billion investment from Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., bolstering confidence in the banking system.
Futures indicated the Standard & Poor's 500 Index will rebound after concern that Congress will hold up a $700 billion bank bailout plan helped send the benchmark for American equities to its worst two-day slump in six years.
S&P 500 futures expiring in December rallied 10.7 points, or 0.9 percent, to 1,197.7 at 8:21 a.m. in New York. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures added 87 to 10,941. Nasdaq-100 Index futures rose 15.5 to 1,666. Europe's Dow Jones Stoxx 600 Index slipped 0.1 percent. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell less than 0.1 percent.
