Market Optimism: U.S. Futures Rise Amid Trade Talks and Jobs Data Anticipation

U.S. stock index futures edged higher on Friday as investors welcomed signs of easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China. Hopes of a potential resolution to the ongoing tariff disputes helped offset concerns over disappointing earnings reports from major companies like Apple and Amazon.
