The Breakfast Briefing: U.S. Stock Futures Rise As Big Banks Beat Earnings

Ted

FYI: U.S. stock futures slipped Friday, as investors grew cautious ahead of the weekend amid signs of fresh tensions over a U.S.-China trade spat and concerns about military action in Syria.

Earnings season will kick off in earnest with major banks JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. due to deliver their first-quarter financial updates.
