U.S. stock futures are little changed as investors continued to wait for fresh trade news and the key monthly jobs report.
President Donald Trump said he expected a call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping this week to discuss trade. Earlier, Tump accused China of violating tariff terms. Any de-icing of trade relations with China, one of the U.S.' largest trading partners would be welcomed.
Meanwhile, investors are bracing for the monthly jobs report at the end of the week. The report could be a barometer of how much, if any, businesses are delaying hiring due to tariffs.
At 6:15 a.m. ET, futures linked to the blue-chip Dow rose 0.13% while broad S&P 500 futures added 0.20% and tech-heavy Nasdaq futures gained 0.18%.
