Market Rebound Amid Weekly Losses

                                         

U.S. stock futures showed signs of recovery on Friday after a challenging week marked by steep losses. Futures tied to the S&P 500 rose by approximately 0.9%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 saw a 1.1% increase. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures also climbed by 0.6%.

This rebound comes after the S&P 500 entered correction territory, joining the Nasdaq Composite in a sharp downturn. The week has been turbulent, with markets reacting to uncertainties surrounding trade policies and economic data.
