S&P Futures accurate forecast of market opening?
S&P Futures accurate forecast of market opening?
Do S&P Futures accurately show how the market will open, especially around 9:29 am eastern time just before the opening bell? For example if S&P Futures show down 0.75% at 9:29 am, then is that about where the S&P will open (plus or minus a small margin of difference)?

Yes, I think so, but better would be to see what SPY was trading at in the pre-market session. SPY has traded more than a million shares today already.
Other things trade in the pre-market. For instance, VTI traded -1% from the Friday close.
