    U.S. stock index futures signaled a flat-to-higher open on Wall Street on Friday after Thursday’s market closure for the Thanksgiving holiday.

    Markets will be open for a shortened session on Black Friday, with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) closing at 1 p.m. New York time and the CME closing at 1.15 p.m. New York time.
    In a quiet day for both earnings and macroeconomic reports, United Natural Foods (UNFI) will post third-quarter results before the start of the U.S. trading session.

    Across the Atlantic, Europe shares traded slightly lower early on Friday, after European leaders failed to agree to a new seven-year European Union budget on Thursday evening.

    Asia shares were on track for their biggest weekly gains in two months, after data on Thursday suggested China had avoided a hard landing and Chinese Vice-Premier Li Keqiang laid the case for deeper market reforms on Friday.
