Nasdaq 100 futures extend gains to 0.5%

A 0.5% pre-market move on its own is thin signal, but the framing around firming risk appetite is the part worth noting: index futures are often the first place broader sentiment shifts show up before it reaches other assets. With no detail on what is driving the move, the open question is whether this holds through the cash session or fades as liquidity arrives — and whether the same appetite carries into adjacent risk markets.
