US STOCKS-Futures inch up on economic confidence; GDP due
[Reuters] - U.S. stock index futures edged higher on Friday, putting the S&P 500 on track for its biggest weekly climb in two months, as investors appeared confident the economy will grow even as the Federal Reserve scales back its monthly stimulus. Investors will eye the final reading of gross domestic product at 8:30 a.m. EST (1330 GMT) for confirmation of a growing economy. "The herd mentality will tell you the economy is improving, albeit sporadically and unevenly," said Keith Bliss, senior vice-president at Cuttone & Co in New York.
