8:40AM: The futures are pointing to a strong open, especially tech stocks. Dell (DELL 27.85) reported last night above estimates, however, a bullish semiconductor equipment industry report last night appears to be the catalyst. Book/bill jumped to 1.20 in April from a revised 1.05 in March....The trade deficit narrowed to $31.6 bln in March from $31.75 bln in Feb, lower than the $32.5 bln consensus. This is somewhat good news but is unlikely to have any market impact today....The yen surged to a 5-month high against the dollar as the Japanese government said the worst of the current recession is over.... Current indications: S&P 500 futures are +5.80, or 5.8 pts above fair value. Nasdaq 100 is +22, or 28 pts above fair value. Nas 100 PMI +20.79.
