U.S. stock futures are set to open higher on Thursday, recovering from the worst one-day decline in three months. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are up 0.4%, S&P 500 futures have gained 0.5%, and Nasdaq-100 futures have increased by 0.6%. Wednesday’s sell-off, which saw the S&P 500 experience its worst one-day decline since September 26, had no clear fundamental trigger. However, the market has been rallying strongly this year, with the S&P 500 up 22%. Economic data releases, including the PCE price index, weekly jobless claims, third-quarter GDP estimate, Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index, and leading economic index, are expected to provide further insight into the state of the economy. Micron Technology will also be in focus after reporting better-than-expected results.
