In terms of corporate results, American Express topped estimates on both the top and bottom line on Friday as third-quarter revenues came in at $10.9bn and earnings per share hit $2.27 each, while Honeywell earnings also beat guidance but revenues fell short of expectations and the group cut its full-year forecasts.
Snap shares slumped more than 20% after missing revenues expectations with its third-quarter earnings overnight on the back of impacts stemming from privacy changes at Apple. Twitter and Facebook shares also slipped back on similar concerns, dragging the Nasdaq into the red.
Intel stock traded lower as component shortages hurt its PC chip unit and Zoom traded higher after analysts at JP Morgan said it was time to buy the stock.
On the macro front, a flash reading of IHS Markit's October manufacturing PMI will be published at 1545 BST, while Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco president Mary Daly and chairman Jerome Powell will speak at 1600 BST and 1700 BST, respectively.
