Nasdaq Futures climb ahead of jobs data on Fed cut hopes
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.
