The Breakfast Briefing: U.S. Futures Set For A Weak Open As Global Trade Tensions Ramp Up

FYI: U.S. stock-index futures were little changed on Friday, as investors once again confronted the prospect of a trade war with other major economies, following reports that President Donald Trump was likely to push forward with tariffs against China.

Despite the uncertainty, indexes remain close to record levels and they are on track for strong gains for both the week and the month.
Regards,
Ted
