Of course. It's always that way with 'stealth' candidates.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A move by China to no longer peg its currency to the dollar gave a sharp lift to U.S. stock futures Thursday. The surprise move by China, reported just after 7 a.m. ET, would have its currency, the yuan, pegged to a basket of currencies rather than just tied to a fixed exchange rate to the dollar. The move is seen as a benefit to many U.S. firms, which could face less competition from lower-priced Chinese imports or get more money for their sales in the world's largest country. U.S. stock futures soared immediately after the reports by Reuters just after 7 a.m. ET. after being mixed in earlier trading.
