Stock futures rose Friday as investors looked to end the week on a high note, while strong Netflix earnings boosted sentiment. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slipped 49 points. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures were up 0.2% and 0.5%, respectively. Netflix climbed 7% after the streaming giant beat Wall Street’s expectations on both lines in the third quarter, while reporting a 35% jump in ad-tier memberships from the prior three-month period. Those moves come after a rally in Travelers propelled the Dow to finish Thursday at an all-time closing high. The broad S&P 500 inched lower despite notching a fresh intraday high during the session, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite concluded modestly higher. The Dow has led the way this week, on track to finish 0.9% higher. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have added 0.5% and 0.2%, respectively, on the week. With those gains, all three indexes are tracking for their sixth straight positive week. That would mark the longest weekly winning streaks in 2024 for both the Dow and S&P 500. On the economic front, investors will watch Friday for data on housing starts and building permits. They’ll also monitor commentary expected from central bank officials including Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic and Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari. American Express and Procter & Gamble are among the companies reporting earnings before the bell Friday morning. “Earnings season is off to the races, and despite some mixed signals, appears to be in good shape,” said Liz Young Thomas, head of investment strategy at SoFi. “We’re in the early innings though, and coming up on the final days before the election and the next Fed meeting.” U.S. Treasury yields held steady on Friday as investors digested the previous day’s economic data which signaled economic resilience. The 10-year Treasury yield fell 2 basis points to 4.079%. The yield on the 2-year Treasury yield ticked lower by 3 basis points to 3.955%. Markets in mainland China and Hong Kong rebounded Friday after the world’s second-largest economy posted better-than-expected economic growth. Overall, Asia-Pacific markets mostly rose. Mainland China’s CSI 300 jumped 3.62% to close at 3,925.23, after notching an intraday high of 5.5%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index was up over 3.41% as of its final hour of trade. Japan’s Nikkei 225 added 0.18% to close at 38,981.75 while the broad-based Topix was up slightly at 2,688.97. South Korea’s blue-chip Kospi slipped 0.59% to end at 2,593.85, while the small-cap Kosdaq was down 1.55% to 753.22. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.87% lower to finish at 8,283.2. Oil futures in inched lower and were headed for more than a 6% weekly drop on Friday on concerns about demand from China’s slowing economy and easing supply risk from the Middle East conflict. Brent crude futures inched 29 cents lower, or 0.36%, to $74.18 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $70.42 a barrel, down 21 cents, or 0.3%. The benchmarks are set to fall more than 6% this week, their biggest weekly decline since Sept. 2, after OPEC and the International Energy Agency cut their forecasts for global oil demand in 2024 and 2025. Gold raced past the $2,700 mark for the first time on Friday, extending a rally driven by expectations of further monetary policy easing and safe-haven demand due to uncertainty about the U.S. presidential elections and Middle East conflicts. Spot gold rose 0.7% to $2,711.75 per ounce, having hit an all-time high of $2,714.00 earlier in the session. Bullion has gained over 2% so far this week. U.S. gold futures gained 0.7% to $2,726.90.
