Nasdaq-100 Futures Rise 1.67% as Intel Gains 5% in Premarket Trading

Nasdaq-100 futures rose 1.67% early Wednesday, Nov. 11, leading gains across the three major U.S. stock index futures as Intel shares climbed 5% in premarket trading. The Nasdaq-100 contract posted the largest percentage move before the regular U.S. stock session. S&P 500 futures gained 0.76%, while futures tied to the Dow rose 0.25%. The three contracts were all higher in the same early trading snapshot, with the Nasdaq-100 ahead of the other two benchmarks. Those figures describe futures trading before the stock market opened, rather than changes in the indexes during the regular session.
