Morning Movers: Broadcom up on earnings, unnamed new AI customer

Stock futures are mixed and flattish as cool labor-market indicators and rising unemployment claims pushed investors to anticipate easier monetary policy.

Global markets drifted higher as investors rallied behind growing expectations of a U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut, fueled by signs of a weakening labor market, as newly-evidenced by the August jobs report showing payrolls grew by a weaker-than-expected 22,000 jobs.

Across commodities, oil prices slipped for the week amid supply expectations and high inventories, while gold enjoyed its strongest weekly rally in three months as investors leaned on it amid growing policy uncertainty.

In pre-market trading, S&P 500 futures rose 0.30%, Nasdaq futures rose 0.73% and Dow futures fell 0.04%.
