(Sharecast News) - Wall Street futures were pointing to a mixed open ahead of the bell on Friday after a strong session left the S&P 500 and Nasdaq on course for weekly gains.
As of 1240 BST, Dow Jones futures had the index opening 0.21% higher, while S&P 500 futures were up 0.02%, and Nasdaq-100 futures had the index opening 0.21% lower.
The Dow closed 139.02 points higher on Thursday, as a drop in oil prices eased concerns about the renewed conflict in the Middle East.
Stocks continued to buoyed by cooling oil prices cooled, helped by claims from Donald Trump that Iran had "called to make a deal". Officials from Qatar and Pakistan also told MS Now that they were working to bring Washington and Tehran back to the negotiating table.
Traders were also looking ahead to the debut of SK Hynix on the Nasdaq on Friday morning after the South Korean chipmaker raised $26.5bn in its New York share offering, marking the largest US listing by a foreign company. The Nvidia supplier sold 177.9m American depositary shares at $149 each, with each ADS representing one‑tenth of a Seoul‑listed common share. Trading was expected to begin on Friday.
Elsewhere in the corporate space, Delta Air Lines posted higher second‑quarter revenue and adjusted earnings on Friday, but shares ticked lower in pre‑market action as investors focused on rising costs and margin pressure rather than the headline beat. Delta reported adjusted earnings of $1.56 per share, ahead of the $1.48 expected, while adjusted revenues rose to $17.67bn, slightly above forecasts. Net income, on the other hand, fell 25% year‑on‑year to $1.6bn, though operating revenue climbed 19% to $19.76bn.
No major data points were slated for release on Friday.
