S&P 500 futures are up 8 points, or 0.1% ahead of the open. The larger move is in Russell 2000 futures, which are up 0.8%.
The gains come after non-farm payrolls beat estimates slightly but saw the unemployment rate rise. That’s enough to maintain confidence that the economy is solid but also nudge the Federal Reserve towards cutting rates in December.
