Wall Street mixed in early trading as markets await government jobs data for May
Wall Street showed mixed performance in early Friday trading as markets awaited May U.S. jobs data, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures declining while Dow futures edged higher. Analysts anticipate 105,000 jobs added in May, down from April, amid concerns over AI's impact on hiring and elevated oil prices due to the Iran war. Regional markets in Asia and Europe showed varied results, with South Korea's Kospi and Japan's Nikkei declining significantly.
