U.S. stocks are poised to open mixed on Friday, although sentiment could change markedly following the release of the September jobs report. Tech stocks could underperform in the session, weighed down by a couple of high-profile tech warnings.
On Thursday, the major U.S. averages opened lower but managed to fight back and turn positive in early trading. The modicum of strength seen in early trading may have been inspired by the weekly jobless claims report, which showed a bigger-than-expected increase in individuals filing for unemployment benefits.
