U.S. stock-index futures pare losses after jobs report

U.S. stock-index futures pared their losses to turn slightly positive on Friday, after a report on the labor market in June showed better headline employment figures than had been estimated. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 0.2%, while S&P 500 futures were up less than 0.2%. Nasdaq-100 futures added 0.1%. In the report, 210,000 jobs were added last month, above the 200,000 that had been expected. The unemployment rate also rose to 4% from 3.8%. Futures had been pointing to a lower open prior to the release of the report, following the implementation of much-anticipated import tariffs by the Trump administration and China.
