The S&P 500 is set to open much higher today after a positive U.S.-China trade deal was announced over the weekend. Futures are up 3.0% for the S&P 500 and 3.9% for the Nasdaq 100. Investor sentiment has also improved, with more individuals feeling bullish.

Last week, the S&P 500 saw little change, declining by 0.47% as investors waited for trade negotiation outcomes. However, with the positive trade deal news today, the rally is expected to continue.

Tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100 are leading the pre-market gains, with the index set to open well above 20,000. The volatility index (VIX) is expected to drop significantly, signaling increased investor confidence.

S&P 500 futures have broken above resistance levels, potentially moving towards 5,900-6,000. While profit-taking may occur, support remains near 5,700. Overall, the market outlook has improved with the trade agreement, but caution is advised.
