U.S. stock index futures edged higher Friday, with investors wary in anticipation of more economic cues from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s address at the Jackson Hole Symposium.
At 05:20 ET (09:20 GMT), Dow Jones Futures rose 125 points or 0.3%, S&P 500 Futures gained 15 points, or 0.2%, and Nasdaq 100 Futures climbed 30 points, or 0.1%.
The major indices closed lower Thursday, with the broad-based S&P 500 posting a fifth straight day of declines.
As of Thursday’s close, all three major averages were headed for a losing week. The S&P 500 is off 1.2% week to date, the NASDAQ Composite is down 2.4% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is on pace for a 0.4% slide.
