U.S. stock futures are modestly higher in premarket trading as investors turn their attention towards big-name earnings reports and inflation data expected in the coming days.

Stocks are coming off a volatile trading week but closed higher despite flaring tensions between the U.S. and China, a sell-off sparked by regional bank losses and declines in a few high-flying artificial intelligence names.

Stocks were higher on Friday after Trump appeared optimistic on a potential trade deal with China ahead of his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month in South Korea.
