US shares are pointing lower in futures trade after a positive finish on Wednesday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw a 300-point rise yesterday, boosted by the likes of the Boeing Company (NYSE:BA), Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) and Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD).
The Nasdaq closed 65 points, while the S&P 500 added over 34.
But on Thursday, Dow Jones futures are currently trading 29 points lower, while Nasdaq futures are 6.5 points off and the S&P 500 futures are 3.25 points below. It comes ahead of the closely watched non-farm payroll figures tomorrow.
In Europe, stock markets are mixed, with the German DAX down 56 points amid continued Eurozone jitters. The FTSE 100 is up but not by much - around ten points and the France's CAC 40 is up 7.55 points.
Up in Toronto, the TSX closed firmly higher - 126 points up at 16,048.
Looking ahead to US trade, Connor Campbell, financial analyst at Spreadex.com said: "...the Dow Jones’ own rebound is set to stall when the bell rings on Wall Street.
"Having risen past 24600 with a 1.25-plus climb, the Dow is facing a 30 point dip, despite the meeting between secretary of state Mike Pompeo and top North Korean official Kim Yong-chol."
Economists are forecasting an increase of 198,000 jobs for May amid a tightening labor market.
On Wednesday, the ADP private sector jobs report, seen as a pre-cursor to the mainb event, showed 178,000 jobs were added.
But April's figure was revised south by 41,000 to 163,000 roles, and March’s was downwardly revised too.
