Remember NASDAQ index goes unchanged at 8972.60
US stocks are set to open higher but off the premarket peaks. The NASDAQ index is expected to open up around +113 points. The index closed at 8854. Adding 100 points would take the index up to 8967. That is close to the end of year closing level of 8972.60. A move above that level puts the NASDAQ index in the black for the year. That would attract headlines.
The Dow industrial average closed -17.08 points off the end of year close. The S&P index is still down -11.83%. They each have a ways to go.
