On Friday's macro slate, import/export figures for November will be published at 1330 GMT.

In the corporate space, Broadcom shares were up double digits in pre-market trading after the chipmaker topped Q4 adjusted earnings estimates overnight after AI revenues surged 220% year-on-year.

No major earnings were slated for release on Friday.
