Dow Futures slip ahead of November jobs report

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell on Thursday, relinquishing some of the big gains seen in the prior session as investors awaited jobs data coming Friday that could determine the pace of the Federal Reserve’s future rate tightening.

U.S. stock index futures edged lower on Friday as investors await the monthly jobs report for November, which would provide more clues on the Federal Reserve’s path of monetary tightening.

Wall Street indexes closed mixed on Thursday following a sharp rally the day before sparked by Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s comments on scaling back interest rate hikes as early as December.

Thursday’s moves followed a mixed bag of economic data, including the personal consumption expenditure index, the Fed’s preferred inflation metric, which was better than expected, while manufacturing activity shrank in November for the first time in 2-1/2 years.
