Stock Futures Steady as Investors Await Fresh Jobs Data

U.S. stock futures were little changed on Thursday as Wall Street attempted to recover from recent declines. Futures tied to the S&P 500 were flat, while Nasdaq futures rose slightly. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell marginally.

Labor Market Update: Today’s spotlight is on the release of the report on initial weekly jobless claims. A positive number could reassure traders about the state of the jobs market, while a negative one may introduce more turbulence. Last week’s sluggish non-farm payrolls update was one of the catalysts for recent declines.

  • Eli Lilly (LLY): The company’s stock soared over 10% in premarket trading after boosting its annual revenue and profit forecasts on strong weight-loss drug sales.
