U.S. stock index futures were up markedly amid strength in Europe. The major European indices are all up in excess of 1% following news that Germany’s June exports increased a stronger-than-expected 3.8%.
There is no U.S. economic data scheduled for release today, but data will pick up tomorrow with second quarter productivity levels, wholesale inventories, and the FOMC rate decision.
