Stock index futures saw gains on Friday despite ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions, with traders anticipating the April jobs report. S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow futures all traded higher. U.S. Treasury yields declined across the board. The upcoming employment report is expected to show a modest rise in nonfarm payrolls and a stable jobless rate. Consumer sentiment data is also due.
