Stock futures are slightly higher Thursday morning after two straight days of gains have taken major indexes back near all-time highs.

U.S. stock indexes are holding relatively steady on Friday following a mixed report on the U.S. job market that analysts said may not change much for financial markets. The S&P 500 was 0.1% higher in early trading and remained on track for a modest gain for the week.

Futures tied to major indexes are little-changed Friday morning as investors await the release of employment data that will provide clues on the health of the economy and the outlook for interest rates.
