Early indications suggest that Wall Street stocks may open Thursday’s session higher, as reflected by the U.S. index futures, which are currently notably higher. Global cues are positive, with Asian stocks ending higher, led by China, which was supposedly boosted by intervention by Chinese authorities. The European markets are also trading with handsome gains. The dollar is currently mixed on scale back expectations concerning a September rate hike, while most commodities are higher. The domestic markets may also stay focused on the weekly jobless claims and pending home sales data.
