This is only the seventh instance since the beginning of the bull market where futures have been up more than 2% going into the market open.
In all of the previous six instances the market continued higher during the trading day for an average gain of 3.8%.
The pre-market headlines in the previous two instances look familiar:
- US stock futures surges as investors speculated that recent declines in equities are overdone and China affirmed its commitment to investing in Europe (5/27/10)
- US stock futures rallied after European policy makers unveiled a $1 trillion loan package to contain a sovereign-debt crisis (5/10/10).
The markets have officially disconnected from all forms of reality. Just look at the mess Europe is in and all the market does is wait for the next rumor
