Wall Street tracking toward tiny gains in premarket ahead of the latest US jobs report

Markets on Wall Street were leaning toward tiny gains early Friday ahead of the Labor Department’s release of the latest U.S. employment data.

Futures for the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up around 0.1% before the bell, while Nasdaq futures ticked up 0.2%.

U.S. homebuilder stocks continued to rise, though more modestly than they did a day earlier when President Donald Trump said he was directing the federal government to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds.
