Major U.S. stock futures rose on Friday morning (2), driven by strong labor market data and signs of a possible easing of trade relations between Washington and Beijing. The positive mood follows reports of Apple and Amazon highlighting the impact of tariffs on their recent earnings.
Dow Jones futures rose 0.8%, signaling a nine-day streak of gains. S&P 500 futures rose 0.9%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 rose 0.8%.
The U.S. employment report for April showed net creation of 177,000 jobs in the nonfarm sector, surpassing economists' estimates of 138,000 jobs and an increase from March's revised figure of 120,000 jobs. The unemployment rate remained at 4.2 percent, suggesting resilience despite the initial impact of the reciprocal tariffs announced by President Donald Trump on "Liberation Day."
On the same day, China's Commerce Ministry said it was reviewing recent proposals from U.S. officials as part of a possible resumption of formal trade talks. In a statement, the ministry said "the door is open" as long as the U.S. cancels the tariffs it had imposed in retaliation.
In addition to the employment figures, average hourly wages rose 0.2 percent in April from the previous month, and 3.8 percent from a year earlier. This was lower than economists' expectations for a monthly increase of 0.3 percent and an annual increase of 3.9 percent, but still indicated a strong labor market.
