NYSE<\/p>\n

Stock futures were little changed early Friday after a record-setting session, with two of the three major benchmarks on pace for their third consecutive weekly advance. <\/p>\n

S&P 500 futures<\/a> traded around the flatline, while Nasdaq-100 futures<\/a> inched lower. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures<\/a> rose just 37 points. <\/p>\n

The S&P 500<\/a> on Thursday hit an intraday all-time high of 7,816.70. The benchmark also closed at a record. <\/p>\n

The tech and communication services sectors were among the big winners in the index, rising roughly 1% each. <\/p>\n

In Asia, Japan’s\u00a0Nikkei 225<\/a>\u00a0added 0.44% while the Topix rose 0.49%. South Korea’s Kospi<\/a> advanced 1.14%, and the small-cap Kosdaq lost 0.57%. Hong Kong’s\u00a0Hang Seng index<\/a>\u00a0was down 0.93%, while mainland China’s CSI 300 inched 0.12% lower. Australia’s benchmark S&P\/ASX 200<\/a> was 0.92% lower.<\/p>\n

“The market is appropriately bullish right now,” Anastasia Amoroso, chief investment strategist at Partners Group, told CNBC’s “Closing Bell<\/a>” in an interview, noting the strength in U.S. corporate earnings. <\/p>\n

With more than 90% of S&P 500 companies having posted second-quarter results, earnings growth from the year-earlier period is tracking around 50%, according to FactSet. <\/p>\n

Amoroso also noted that software has “rallied and rebounded \u2026 I think the market came to the realization that maybe we did not appropriately price in those risks.” Indeed, the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV)<\/a> is up around 28% over the past six months after tumbling more than 24% in the first quarter. IGV climbed more than 3% on Thursday. <\/p>\n

Thursday’s gain put the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite on pace for their third straight weekly advances. Heading into Friday’s session, the former is up 0.5%, while the latter has advanced 0.4%. The Dow, meanwhile, is down 0.4% week to date. <\/p>\n

There are no major earnings due Friday, but investors will have a look at July retail sales figures at 8:30 a.m. ET. Economists on average expect sales grew by 0.1% month over month, according to Dow Jones. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
