After the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both hit intraday records in the prior session, U.S. futures showed caution as investors would focus on reactions to earnings in a day with no major economic reports. The blue-chip Dow futures slipped 0.06%, S&P 500 futures inched up 0.05% while the Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 0.04%.European shares saw mixed trade on Friday as corporate earnings were insufficient to counteract the somber mood of the previous session when a stronger euro weighed heavily on exporters. The European benchmark Euro Stoxx 50 lost 0.22%, Germany’s DAX lost 0.24%, while London's FTSE 100 advanced 0.11%.Earlier, Asian equity markets were down across the board Friday, taking a breather from recent climbs.
