U.S. stock index futures are staging a comeback despite lingering concerns over rate hikes, earnings and global growth. Stocks fell sharply on Friday as investors slogged through another volatile session on Wall Street, which saw the S&P 500 end at its lowest level since early May and flirt with correction territory. Traders are now eyeing reports from about a quarter of S&P 500 companies, which will release earnings in what will be the last big week for Q3 results.
 
The Shanghai Composite slipped 2.2% overnight on fresh signs of cooling in the world’s second largest economy. Chinese data over the weekend showed slowing profit growth at industrial firms for the fifth consecutive month in September as sales of raw materials and manufactured goods ebbed. An escalating trade war with the U.S. has also added to pressure on overall output.
 
In Asia, Japan -0.2%. Hong Kong +0.4%. China -2.2%. India +2.2%. 
In Europe, at midday, London +1.5%. Paris +0.3%. Frankfurt +1.9%. 
Futures at 6:20, Dow +0.3%. S&P +0.6%. Nasdaq +0.9%. Crude -0.3% to $67.39. Gold -0.3% to $1232.20. Bitcoin -0.2% to $6416. 
Ten-year Treasury Yield +1 bps to 3.09%
