HONG KONG (CNNMoney)
Here's what you need to know before the open:
1. Economic data to watch: Investors will be watching as May's jobs report come out at 8:30 a.m. ET. Economists surveyed by CNNMoney expect that 200,000 jobs were created in May, down from 288,000 in April.
As long as at least 113,000 jobs were created, the U.S. will have now finally recovered all the jobs lost in the financial crisis. Still, most Americans think the economy won't fully recover for years.

2. Markets look poised to keep edging up: U.S. stock futures were tilting higher Friday, after markets shattered records when the European Central Bank unleashed negative interest rates to fuel growth.
The Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 gained about 0.6% to all time highs. The Nasdaq followed suit, adding 1.26%, while the small-cap Russell 2000 surged almost 2%.

3. Stocks to watch: Bank of America (BAC) may have a rocky day -- it is edging down 1% ahead of the bell, after the government said that the bank was negotiating a deal with the Justice Department that could lead to a $12 billion settlement related to the bank's mortgage banking practices.
It's also worth keeping an eye on Credit Suisse (CS) and Facebook (FB, Tech30) today -- both are among the top 10 most active during pre-market trading on the Nasdaq.
4. International markets: European markets jumped in morning trading, led by a 0.8% rise in Spain, as the ECB's stimulus package continued to bolster appetite for riskier assets. London's FTSE 100 climbed 0.3%. The euro slipped 0.2% against the dollar.
Most Asian markets closed in the red, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng losing 0.7% and China's Shanghai Composite dropped 0.5%. Japan's Nikkei was little changed. India's Sensex was trading up 0.9%.
