S&P 500 futures were little changed early Friday, following a tough session in which a sharp spike in oil prices and lackluster earnings from two megacap companies pressured the broader equity market.
S&P 500 futures were flat. Nasdaq-100 futures declined 0.26%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures traded 20 points lower.
In regular trading, the Dow dropped more than 500 points, or around 1%, for its fifth negative day in six.
In Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 2.79% while the Topix slipped 1%.
Brent crude futures topped $100 per barrel for the first time since late May, soaring about 7% on Thursday.
“While current positioning does not guarantee that oil will continue rising, it does mean that the market entered the latest escalation poorly positioned for an upside surprise,” Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist at LPL Financial.
Quarterly results from Tesla and Alphabet also weighed on the broader market.
