Die Bullen scharren gar nicht mit den Hufen,

 

U.S. stock futures signaled a recovery on Wednesday after two volatile sessions, with attention turning to Lehman Brothers and whether the investment bank can soothe the fears that have walloped its stock over the last few sessions.
S&P 500 futures rose 7.3 points to 1,233.80 and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 17 points to 1,745.75. Dow industrial futures rose 63 points.
U.S. stocks ended Tuesday with sharp losses, pretty much erasing all of the gains on Monday from the U.S. government's move to rescue Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 280 points, the Nasdaq Composite lost 59 points and the S&P 500 fell 43 points.
The worries on Tuesday centered around Lehman Brothers (LEH:Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc
LEH 7.79, -6.36, -44.9%) , which dropped 45% on concerns over the investment bank's ability to raise capital to counter growing losses.
Lehman has brought its third-quarter earnings up to Wednesday morning, and will announce strategic initiatives. They won't include a deal with Korea, as the Korea Development Bank issued its own statement on Wednesday saying talks collapsed over price and the broader market.
In pre-market trade, Lehman shares rallied 32%.
That's not only the financial-sector deal to have collapsed: GFI Group (GFIG:gfi group inc com
GFIG 9.61, -1.49, -13.4%) said merger talks with Tullett Prebon ended.
Oil futures got a lift after OPEC's surprise decision to reduce production quotas by roughly 500,000 barrels a day. However, the International Energy Agency cut its estimates of 2008 and 2009 global oil demand. Weekly energy inventory data also is due for release.
Oil futures rose 69 cents to $103.95 a barrel.
