Nasdaq Futures Extend Gains to 2% as S&P 500 Futures Rise 0.9%

Nasdaq futures extended gains to 2% on Nov. 11, leading advances in U.S. equity-index futures in a move notable for crypto participants who track U.S. stocks.

S&P 500 futures added 0.9%, and Dow futures gained 0.19%. Nasdaq futures outpaced the S&P 500 contract by 1.1 percentage points and the Dow contract by 1.81 points. The S&P 500's advance was 0.71 points greater than the Dow's.

All three futures benchmarks were higher, but the gains were uneven: Nasdaq futures rose more than twice as much as S&P 500 futures and more than 10 times as much as Dow futures. The figures put Nasdaq-linked contracts at the top of the group, with the S&P 500 in the middle and the Dow showing the smallest gain. That ranking makes the Nasdaq advance the standout of the three reported moves, while the other two contracts also posted gains.

The cross-market move is relevant to crypto traders because U.S. equities are a market reference they track. The reported futures gains were 2% for Nasdaq, 0.9% for S&P 500 and 0.19% for Dow on Nov. 11.
