NEW YORK, May 2 (Reuters) – U.S. stock index futures briefly

added to gains on Thursday after the European Central Bank cut

its main refinancing rate by 25 basis points to 0.5 percent, as

expected.

S&P; 500 futures rose 5.6 points and were below fair

value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account

interest rates, dividends and time to expiration of the

contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures added 47

points and Nasdaq 100 futures gained 11.5 points.
