U.S. stock futures were mixed on Friday, as the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 fell, and the Dow Jones index gained, following a mixed close on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Investors digested the latest labor data as U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased by 172,000 in May, matching April\u2019s steady hiring pace, while the unemployment rate held flat at 4.3%.<\/p>\n

Wage growth showed modest acceleration, with average hourly earnings ticking up 0.3% ($0.12) to $37.53 for the month, pushing the year-over-year increase to 3.4%.<\/p>\n

Following an Oval Office coal policy announcement<\/a>, President Donald Trump<\/strong> stated he would consider meeting Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei<\/strong> if diplomacy progresses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we make a deal, it\u2019s possible that I would meet<\/a>,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI\u2019d be okay with that.\u201d His comments come amid mixed signals from negotiations as the U.S.-Iran conflict enters its fourth month under a fragile ceasefire.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.46%, and the two-year bond was at 4.03%. The CME Group’s FedWatch tool<\/a>\u2018s projections show markets pricing a 96.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged during June\u2019s meeting.<\/p>\n
