Image for US Futures Mixed as Markets Close for Good Friday

US stock futures were mixed on Friday following a turbulent Wall Street session in which the S&P 500 and Nasdaq notched modest gains while the Dow edged lower. Sentiment remained fragile as oil prices surged after President Trump warned that the conflict with Iran could persist for weeks, even as he said the U.S. was “getting very close” to ending the war.

Travel-related stocks, including airlines and cruise operators, came under pressure as rising fuel costs threatened profit margins. Performance in the tech sector was uneven: Tesla dropped 5.5% after reporting vehicle deliveries below expectations, while Globalstar jumped 13% following a report that Amazon may be exploring an acquisition.

The S&P 500 recorded its first weekly advance since the conflict began, with the Dow and Nasdaq also posting gains. Thursday was the final trading session of the week ahead of the Good Friday market holiday, but investors’ attention remains fixed on the March jobs report due Friday.
