Futures Pointing To Roughly Flat Open On Wall Street

Stocks may show a lack of direction in early trading on Friday. The major index futures are currently pointing to a roughly flat open for the markets, with the S&P 500 futures down by less than a tenth of a percent.

Following the volatility seen over the past several sessions, traders may take a step back to assess the near-term outlook for the markets.

Traders may also be reluctant to make significant moves ahead of the unofficial start of earnings season next week.
