The U.S. future points to more Wall Street openings

The U.S. Future points to greater openness on Wall Street at noon on Friday. The future of the leading S&P 500 index was up 0.5 percent in green at lunch. Looks like it will rise a little more when the Nasdaq opens.

Wall Street is gaining support on Friday from next week’s scheduled meeting between the United States and Russia in an effort to resolve the situation on Ukraine’s border.

“If there is no Russian invasion of Ukraine,” the US State Department said there would be a meeting in Europe between Anthony Blinken and Sergei Lavrov next weekend. Citi Index market analyst Matthew Simpson said the news could come out of it.

However, IG market analyst Yap Jun Rong said that until the situation is finally resolved, investors will avoid risky assets and move to safer havens.

At the macroeconomic level, only home sales in January are on the agenda for Friday.

Traded at Euro / Dollar 1.1353. At the start of the trading day in Europe, the currency pair still moved at 1.1372 and when the US stock markets closed on Thursday it was at the level of 1.1360 on the plates.

Oil prices fell 2.1 percent on Friday.
