US stock futures rose Friday as traders awaited the August jobs report, with economists projecting 75,000 job gains and unemployment edging up to 4.3%. A weak print could cement Fed rate cut hopes at the September 17 meeting, where futures imply 99% odds of a 25 bps cut. Broadcom's strong results boosted Nasdaq futures 0.47%, while S&P 500 and Dow also advanced.
