Stock futures were quietly positive ahead of Friday’s open. Nasdaq 100 futures traded 4 points above fair market value. S&P 500 futures were up 1.3 points. Small caps were showing some weakness, with Russell 2000 futures down a fraction. Politics are center stage as the market heads into a three-day weekend, with parliamentary elections underway in the European Union and a presidential election scheduled in a tightly wrought Ukraine on Sunday.
