Stock futures rise Wednesday to start a new month of trading: Live updates
Stock futures rose Wednesday, the first day of March, as traders tried to recover their footing following a losing month.
Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 64 points, or 0.2%. S&P 500 futures advanced 0.3%, while Nasdaq-100 futures climbed 0.4%.
Sentiment got a boost after the release of much stronger-than-expected data out of China. The country’s National Bureau of Statistics said its official manufacturing PMI rose to 52.6 in February — a high not seen since April 2012.
The moves come after Wall Street closed out a losing February for stocks on Tuesday. The Dow led the averages down, closing the month down 4.19%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite shed 2.61% and 1.11%, respectively.
February’s slide dragged the Dow into negative territory for the year, while the other two indexes are still holding onto their gains.
The decline marked a turn from January’s rally and was prompted in part by the bombshell jobs data that came in the first week of the month, according to Keith Buchanan, senior portfolio manager at Globalt Investments. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 517,000 in January, according to the report, which crushed the 187,000 estimated by economists polled by Dow Jones.
“There was a turning point that we can all point to,” Buchanan said. “The market had a moment where participants realized that perhaps the labor market is tight enough to continue to set the stage for increasing hawkishness.”
Investors will watch for economic data on construction and manufacturing coming after the market opens Wednesday.
