Aug 22 2025 5:34PM
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.
