NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stock index futures pointed to steep gains on Sunday, looking to extend Wall Street's recent rally after euro zone finance ministers agreed on an aid package to help Spain.
Futures opened up more than 1 percent on the news that the ministers would lend Spain up to 100 billion euros ($125 billion) to help the country's battered banks.
The size of the aid package was larger than expected, removing a huge cloud that has been hanging over financial markets. Investors had feared that a banking crisis in the euro zone's fourth-largest economy could have compounded the currency bloc's troubles with Greece.
"This is a major step in avoiding a contagion," said Tim Speiss, partner-in-charge of EisnerAmper's Personal Wealth Advisors Group in New York.
"The amount is pretty high, higher than expected. Although we need to get more details, at least for equity markets in the U.S. and around the world, this definitely eases short-term fears," Speiss said.
