E-Mini Dow
U.S. stock index futures bounced more than 2% on Friday as President Donald Trump laid out plans to re-open an economy shut down by the coronavirus outbreak and on reports of encouraging data on a drug to potentially treat COVID-19.
Late on Thursday, Trump announced new guidelines to re-open the economy in a staggered, three-stage process, but the plan was a set of recommendations rather than orders and left the decision largely up to state governors.
“With news of a potential beneficial treatment on the same day that Trump laid out plans to re-open the U.S. economy, there is a clear optimism over the possibility that some semblance of normality could soon return,” Joshua Mahony, senior market analyst at IG in London wrote in a note.

E-Mini S&P 500
Stocks surged on Friday after a report said a Gilead Sciences drug showed some effectiveness in treating the coronavirus, giving investors some hope there could be a treatment solution that helps the country reopen faster from the widespread shutdowns that have plunged the economy into a recession.
The Dow rallied 704.81 points, or 3%, to 24,242.49. It was the Dow’s first close above 24,000 since March 10. The &P 500 closed 2.7% higher, at 2,874.56 while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.4% to 8,650.14.
Boeing shares jumped 14.7% after the airplane maker said it would resume production in the Seattle area as early as April 20. The company also said Friday it would resume operations in the Philadelphia area.
Friday’s gain led the S&P 500 to its first back-to-back weekly gains since early February and propelled it above its 50-day moving average. The broader market index climbed 3% for the week while the Dow gained 2.2%. The Nasdaq advanced 6.1% week to date. Through Friday’s close, the major averages were all up more than 25% from their late-March lows.

E-Mini Nasdaq
U.S. stock futures traded lower early Monday morning as investors weighed the latest coronavirus news along with a sharp decline in U.S. crude prices.
Dow futures fell 183 points, pointing to a Monday opening drop of around 153 points. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures also pointed to a lower Monday open for the two indexes.
Stock futures followed the decline of U.S. oil prices. The May contract for West Texas Intermediate plunged about 19% to $14.79 per barrel on weak demand outlook and storage capacity issues. WTI’s June contract slid over 6% to $23.43 per barrel.
The market was coming off its first back-to-back weekly gains in more than two months. Stocks got a jolt after a report last week said patients with severe virus symptoms were quickly recovering after using remdesivir, a Gilead Sciences drug. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all rose more than 2% last week.

Hong Kong’s benchmark share index closed higher on Friday as investors shrugged off a sharp contraction in China’s first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) and bet on hopes of recovery as the impact of the coronavirus pandemic recedes.
The Hang Seng index ended 373.55 points higher, or 1.56% at 24,380.00.
