Stock Futures Tick Lower Ahead of Jobs Report
U.S. stock futures edged down ahead of the monthly jobs report, which is expected to register a decrease in the unemployment rate.
S&P 500 futures declined 0.1% and futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down 0.1%. Changes in equity futures don’t necessarily predict movements after the opening bell.
In Europe, the Stoxx Europe 600 traded was lower 0.1% in morning trade as gains in materials and healthcare sectors were offset by losses in energy and utilities sectors.
