- Investor's Business Daily flagged tech futures rising and identified five big software stocks as the session's winners.
- CNBC reported S&P 500 futures were little changed as traders awaited the upcoming jobs report.
Why it matters: The upcoming jobs report is the day's focal point, with Treasury yields ticking lower per MarketWatch and Reuters framing the session as a 'pause before jobs.' IBD's software-winners call is the outlier — specific stocks moving while the broader market pauses, giving active traders a sector to lean into ahead of the data drop.
