US stocks are seen putting an end to the recent rout, and a number of stocks are in focus.
RH Inc(NYSE:RH), operator of Restoration Hardware, saw shares add over 4% in pre-market to $123.50 having added over 10% yesterday.
It came as the home furnishings retailer unveiled a share buyback program of up to $700 million yesterday.
Elsewhere, Boston Dynamics, the private robotics firm, is causing quite a stir this morning as it is showing off its humanoid robot Atlas. The machine had previously learned how to run, jump and how to open doors but now a video, posted across a wide range of media, shows it performing parkour. The company was launched in 1992 as a spinoff from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
