Alphabet shares are up 9.7% premarket while Microsoft shares are up 2.4%. The biggest riser is SNAP, which is up more than 30% and is usually a huge driver of earnings. In contrast, Intel shares are down 6%.

However, it’s the mega-caps that are driving futures, and S&P 500 futures reopened up 42 points, or 0.8%.
