June S&P futures are now up 8.10 at 879.80 and Nasdaq 100 futures are gaining 11.00 to 1,049.00, after the U.S. Commerce Department said retail sales rose an adjusted 2.1 percent in March, well above economist forecasts of a 0.8 percent rise. Prior to the release of the data, S&P futures were around 875.50 and Nasdaq futures were around 1,043.50.
