Original source

Futures were falling early Friday after stocks mounted a late comeback in the previous session following encouraging comments by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu–he said the war will end “a lot faster than people think.” President Donald Trump said the war was “very complete, pretty much,” in comments to CBS News on March 9–the best part of two weeks ago. Futures on the S&P 500 were down 0.1% early Friday, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were also 0.1% lower and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.3%.
