Yesterday’s downward momentum that saw the three main US indices drop about 1.25% faded overnight with the tone shifting to bargain hunting and short covering. An overnight rally started in Asia Pacific trading and carried into Europe.  The Nikkei soared 2.0% overnight, while the Hang Seng, Dax and FTSE have all bounced about 1.0%.

Today’s market rebound has carried into early North American trading with Dow futures climbing 0.8% and NASDAQ futures gaining 1.1%. WTI crude oil is up 1.5% while copper is up 0.8%. Bitcoin has bounced 4.0%, while gold is holding steady near $1,800/oz.

Investors have responded positively to overnight earnings reports out of the US, where Nike ($0.83 vs street $0.63, up 3.6% premarket) and Micron Technology ($2.16 vs street $2.11, up 8.3% premarket) both beat expectations.

Today’s main economic news comes from Canada where retail sales for October, bounced back even stronger than investors had been expecting (1.6% vs street 1.0% and previous -0.6%).
