U.S. stock futures were mixed on Friday following Thursday's decline, after President Donald Trump announced the extension of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon by three weeks.

On Thursday, the Dow Jones index closed 179 points lower as investors gauged the evolving Middle East conflict and a downturn in the software sector.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yields stood at 4.316%, and the two-year bond was at 3.831% at the time of writing. The CME Group’s FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 99.5% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged in April.

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, were higher in pre-market on Friday. The SPY was up 0.21% at $709.82, while the QQQ surged 0.75% to $656.40.
