U.S. stock futures rose on Thursday evening as traders anticipated the upcoming jobs report, with Dow futures gaining 96 points, or 0.2%. S&P 500 futures increased by 0.4%, and Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 0.5%. This upward movement followed a period of sharp declines in major indices due to concerns over trade policies, particularly after President Trump announced a delay on the imposition of 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods. Bond investors are closely monitoring signs of economic weakness in the forthcoming employment report, which is expected to influence Treasury yields, currently ticking lower as investors await key data.
