Discrepancies in today Wall Street Cash index

[Guest Cheerywalnuts]

Hi, may I ask is there a system glitch in IG for Wall street Cash index as Dow closed 27492 at 5.01am and the Dow  Futures was 27424 but IG Wall street at 5am is 27487, at 5.01am is 27454. Rightfully it should reflect the same value without any gap during the transition of market closing. 

There is a wide gap of 30 points difference (attached screenshot from the IG.)

Observed that the current points difference between Indices and Indices future of Dow 30 at Investing.com is 68 points (attached the screenshots from Investing.com)

Please kindly advise. Thanks!
