Ted

FYI: .There are no major data releases Friday.
.Market players will therefore be mostly focused on earnings, with General Electric reporting before the bell.
U.S. stock index futures pointed to a negative open on Friday, as investors awaited further earnings and digested news comments from President Donald Trump.

Ted
