Stock Futures Inch Higher After Wild Surge on Wall Street

U.S. stock futures inched higher, suggesting markets could steady after a head-spinning session that was marked by big swings in major indexes.

Futures for the S&P 500 added 0.2% Friday, while those for the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.3%. Contracts for the technology-focused Nasdaq-100 hugged the flatline. Earlier in the session, futures rallied, before dipping lower and then moderating.
