Futures point to a positive open today given the green in US markets overnight.

Rising oil prices continue to buoy energy stocks, and financial stocks also enjoyed gains.
The SPDR S&P 500 Bank ETF (KBE) rose around 2 percent and posted its best day since August 5.


The Dow Jones industrial average ended about 110 points higher, with Goldman Sachs, Boeing and Caterpillar contributing the most gains. Intraday high was 147 points.

"We think the market is accepting that rates are going to go higher," said Thomas Wilson, senior investment manager at Brinker Capital. "It's interesting because the market was at a point where good news was seen as bad by the market. I think the market is driving away from that, and that's good."

Companies in September created jobs at the slowest pace in six months as the labor market showed further signs of tightening, according to a report Wednesday from ADP and Moody's Analytics. ADP's report is seen as a preview of the U.S. government's monthly nonfarm payrolls report, due Friday at 8:30 a.m. ET.

The S&P 500 rose 0.4 percent, with financials and energy gaining more than 1 percent to lead advancers. The Nasdaq rose approximately 0.5 percent. 1

Oil has rallied 13 percent over the past six sessions .
