Wall Street's rebound continued into early Friday and oil prices sank more than 3% after U.S. President Donald Trump claimed there was a breakthrough in talks to end the Iran war.
Futures for the S&P 500 were 0.6% higher before the opening bell, while futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.7%. Nasdaq futures rose 0.5%.
Investors in the U.S. and elsewhere also were awaiting the Friday debut on Wall Street of SpaceX, Elon Musk's rocket company, which is set to become the largest IPO on record, raising around $75 billion. With a net worth that Forbes estimates at $982.6 billion, Musk is on track to become the world's first trillionaire.
