| U.S. stock futures down on Qualcomm, Wachovia |
S&P 500 futures declined 10.8 points at 1,464.70 and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 19 points at 2,086.50. Dow industrial futures slipped 102 points.
U.S. stocks closed lower on Thursday in a session where the Dow industrials fell as low as 220 points but finished just 33 points in deficit, with the implications of the bearish economic outlook from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke a big reason for the market's volatility. The S&P 500 edged down a fraction of a point while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 52 points after Cisco Systems' cautious outlook.
There's no Fed speakers due to talk Friday, though data on the September trade balance and October import prices will be released, as well as the University of Michigan's consumer confidence survey for November.
The British pound hit a new 26-year high against the U.S. dollar, of $2.1160, even as a U.K. trade deficit in goods hit a record. Fears about the credit crunch and the state of the U.S. economy again contributed to dollar weakness. The euro also hit a new record against the dollar, and the greenback fell to its lowest level against the Japanese yen since June 2006.
Crude oil futures reversed early gains, down 57 cents at $94.89 a barrel.
