About this instrument
The Nasdaq-100 implied open is derived from the front-month NQ=F futures contract using the cost-of-carry fair-value model: the futures price is discounted by the USD risk-free rate net of expected index dividends over the remaining time to contract expiry.
The projection estimates where the index could open at the 9:30 a.m. ET opening bell in New York. The 1σ band around the projection is sized from the Cboe VIX 30-day implied-volatility index, with source and quote age shown separately. The implied opening level is an estimate, not a guaranteed opening price.
