U.S. equity tech futures surged more than 3.5%, briefly triggering a halt, as election results pointed to a tight race in the American presidential election. December contracts on the S&P 500 rose 1.6% as of 10:25 p.m. in New York, while the swift rally in Nasdaq 100 futures triggered an exchange-mandated two-minute trading pause. The S&P 500 has moved at least 1% six of the past seven sessions. The S&P 500 has rallied 57% since his surprise win. The S&P 500 retreated in both September and October after a torrid summer rally.
