Nasdaq 100 futures surge more than 1% after July 4 weekend

U.S. stock-index futures moved sharply higher as markets reopened following the Fourth of July holiday break.

Fact Check
The originating @KobeissiLetter post directly asserts Nasdaq 100 futures surged over +1% after the July 4 weekend. CNBC's July 5, 2026 live market coverage independently corroborates that Nasdaq (and S&P 500) futures rose Sunday night as markets reopened after the Fourth of July holiday, matching the claim's direction and timing. CNBC did not specify the exact +1% magnitude, so the precise figure rests primarily on the Kobeissi source; hence medium rather than high confidence. No conflicting evidence was found.
