2012-03-26 14:25:24
U.S. stock index futures pointed to a slightly higher open on Wall Street on Monday, with futures for the S&P 500 up 0.14 percent, Dow Jones
futures up 0.2 percent and Nasdaq 100 futures up 0.21 percent at 0813 GMT. European stocks edged higher in morning trade following a week-long sell-off, but rising concerns over Spain's ability to deal with its debt crisis weighed on the country's stocks, with the IBEX benchmark down 1.4 percent at a two-week low. Investors awaited pending home sales data for February, coming in the wake of a raft of lower-than-expected macro data released last week. Economists in a Reuters survey expect a 1.0 percent rise compared with a 2.0 percent increase in January.
AgroInvest comment: Indices closed with positive numbers at the end of the week with UAIndex gaining 0.73%.
