US Futures are and European markets are higher in early trading. Global markets are finding some relief this morning following a rather tumultuous week. In European news, PM May has announced she will be resigning from her position before Brexit has been completed. A drop in crude oil prices is putting pressure on gains as a potential for decreased demand from slowing global growth. Asian markets settled the session mostly higher. As a reminder US Markets will be closed on Monday for Memorial Day.
