Stock futures bounced amid mixed global data.

Stock futures staged a rebound in early trading, driven by strength in the small-cap sector as Russell futures led the way with a 0.84% gain. Broader markets also participated in the rally, with Nasdaq, S&P and Dow futures climbing between 0.5% and 0.7%. The move higher in domestic markets came amid a divergent set of global economic indicators. Japan provided a bright spot as its industrial and manufacturing outlooks came in ahead of expectations, boosting sentiment. However, the economic picture from China was mixed, characterized by a miss in industrial production figures while the unemployment rate held steady.
