DETERMINING "FAIR VALUE"

Good Morning Everyone:

I currently do not trade in the Futures Market, but have one question for now.
I hope someone can help me to better understand this point.

Every morning I listen to BLOOMBERG radio and I hear the announcer talk about
where the futures market stands, relative to overnight trading.  He generally
makes a comment like:  "... futures are up 5 points; that's 3 points above
fair value.  This indicates a very strong opening on Wall Street."  

I hate to waste anyones time, but if someone would please help me understand
"fair value" I would really appreciate it.  I can't seem to understand what
the relationship is here.

Thanks ahead of time!
