Wall Street Preview: Hurricane Irma Weakened and Geopolitical Tensions Cooled
North Korea refrained from launching missiles during the nation's weekend observance of its 69th founding anniversary
U.S. stock futures were pointing to strong gains for Wall Street on Monday, Sept. 11, and European and Asian shares traded higher after Hurricane Irma weakened and North Korea refrained from launching missiles during the rogue nation's weekend observance of its 69th founding anniversary.
"This weekend was a case of the dog that didn't bark, or at least, not very loudly," Rob Carnell, head of Asia research at ING, told the Associated Press. "North Korea did not launch a new missile, and Hurricane Irma was downgraded, though still looks like it will cause considerable damage, and mess up all the economic data for the next month or so."
