Small-cap futures outperformed large-cap benchmarks this morning, suggesting risk appetite is returning in stock futures investing strategies.

The company said revenue rose 1% in the three months ended Aug. 31, after previously saying it anticipated sales would fall by a mid-single digit percentage in the period. However, Nike's profits fell 31% while gross margin dropped 3.2 percentage points to 42.2% during the quarter — a warning sign to investors that its efforts to clear through old inventory are still ongoing.
