Stock futures add to losses after jobless claims data
U.S. stock index futures added to losses on Thursday after U.S. jobless claims jumped unexpectedly last week to their highest level since October, indicating continued weakness in the labor market.
S&P 500 futures lost 1.7 points and were slightly below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures shed 8 points, and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 2.75 points.
