VMI | How does CNN know how the market will open? |
Usually before the market opens CNN publishes an article on how they expect the market to open.
For example, one day they may say that stocks are set for a mixed open, and another time they may say that stocks are set to jump.
I know it's just a forecast, but what data do they use for this?
Thanks. |

They are based on DOW and S&P futures contracts. Some don't realize that there are futures tied to these indices but there are. I believe the most common used formula is Futures + 2 for a general direction on open. Not very accurate or dependable but it gives an answer to one of the most common questions asked every single day of the week. That is really about all it is good for. |

They use the futures market. It's basically just another market which places bets on the opening value of the market the next day. Participants in the futures markets evaluate the likely strength of buying or selling activity when the market opens and place their bets accordingly. It's usually a reasonable indicator, especially given that there is pre-market trading from 8-9:29 which really gives a good picture of where a stock is headed at the open. |

Those numbers in green, US futures and market indicators, mean if the market were open right now it would be up. If those numbers were red it would mean the market would be down if it were to open now. The larger the magnitude of those numbers, green or red, means the higher or lower the market will open. The futures trade after the market closes until just before it opens the next day. |

They're reading the market futures of pre-market buying - the interpretation of which means nothing. Example - this morning the market opened up, moved immediately down, then went up and down several times for a total of over 800 points in movement on the DOW, after all those big swings. You can look at a number of services (Bloomberg, FOX, CNBC, CNN, etc.) that broadcast pre-market information and scroll it on the screen. The more important tool is to learn to interpret the market trend from day to day, week to week, etc. The television stuff is mostly "noise" and has little bearing on impacting, reinforcing or changing market direction. |

Several stocks trade in the pre-market hour. All networks or any stock service would give you that information. Usually you can look at the futures on Bloomberg during the entire evening and available while the Asian and then the European exchanges trade. |
