Futures on Nasdaq 100 (US100) gain today, after the weak session yesterday, trying to reverse the bearish head and shoulder technical pattern. The main resistance zone is set at 23,700 and 24,000, and if the momentum persists we may expect a rebound to 23,700 in the near-term. At 12:15 PM GMT we will learn US ADP report and right after that jobless claims, at 12:30 PM GMT. Both reports may be important to markets ahead of US NFP scheduled for tomorrow.
The most important reading today is set to release at 2 PM GMT and is US Services ISM report. Markets also await on Broadcom (AVGO.US) earnings after the session on Wall Street today. Evercore ISI analysts improved the rating for the US AI chip giant, rising price target to $342, citing strong data centres demand. This report may move almost all technology sector today, as markets remain fragile after the Nvidia slightly lower than expected report for the last quarter (demand centre revenues below expectations).
