US stock futures rose on Friday as investors looked to the highly anticipated monthly jobs report for further insights into the health of the economy. On Thursday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite saw sharp declines, falling 1.78% and 2.61%, respectively, marking their lowest levels in at least four months. The Dow also dropped 0.99%, bringing the week's losses to nearly 3%. These declines came amid rising concerns over the Trump administration’s trade policies, which fueled worries about US economic growth. The decision to delay tariffs on certain goods from Mexico and Canada for a month failed to reassure investors. Tech stocks led the downturn, with Marvell Technology plummeting 19.8% after issuing a disappointing AI-driven sales forecast. This dragged down other major tech stocks, including Nvidia (-5.7%), Broadcom (-6.3%), and AMD (-2.8%).
