The Breakfast Briefing: US Futures Rise Ahead Of Open, As Wall Street Gears Up For Nonfarm Payroll

Ted

FYI: U.S. stock index futures pointed to a positive open on Friday, ahead of the all-important U.S. employment data.

As the first week of 2018 draws to a close, U.S. investors will be waiting for the December employment situation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, due out at 8:30 a.m. ET.

Ted
