Stocks are on track to end another tumultuous week on the backfoot.
Futures fell Friday, suggesting U.S. indexes may continue Thursday's declines. The S&P 500 and Dow Industrials are holding onto small gains for the week, following a brief relief rally when the Federal Reserve held its projections for interest-rate cuts broadly unchanged. But concerns over the impact of President Trump's trade policies hang over markets.
European, Chinese and Japanese stocks also dropped. Airline stocks in Europe fell, as the closure of Heathrow, London's main airport, was shut due to a power outage.
In recent trading:
--Stock futures slipped. Nike and FedEx shares sold off after the companies' earnings disappointed investors.
--Treasury yields held steady. On Thursday, the 10-year yield settled at 4.233%.
--Copper prices eased. Futures for the metal fell about 1%, after coming within striking distance Thursday of a new record high.
Coming up next week:
--U.S. manufacturing-activity data and the Fed's preferred inflation gauge.
