Futures rise on signs of easing trade tensions, jobs data in focus

Global stocks rose as Beijing said on Friday it was "evaluating" an offer from Washington to hold talks over U.S. President Donald Trump's 145% tariffs on China. Their back-and-forth over tariffs has kept investors on edge, with both sides unwilling to be seen backing down in a trade war that has roiled global markets and upended supply chains. Still, Trump's reversal of some tariffs on global trade partners has helped U.S. stock indexes recover sharply from recent losses.

Fed outlook in focus as US stocks rally picks up steam

NEW YORK (Reuters) -The Federal Reserve meeting in the coming week is set to test the U.S. stock market's sharp rebound, with investors hoping the central bank is poised to resume lowering interest rates in the months ahead. During the rally, stocks have nearly erased the slump set off by President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs. The S&P 500 was last down roughly 1% since April 2, when Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement sent stocks plunging and led to some of the market's most volatile swings in 50 years.
