U.S. stock futures pointed to a higher open, putting the market on track to erase part of the week’s losses. A rally by Chinese stocks appeared to cheer investors, as they also brace for a key U.S. jobs report that’s due before the open.

S&P 500 futures rose 25.10 points, or 0.8%, to 1,948

Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 123 points, or 0.8%, to 16,542.

Nasdaq 100 futures added 39.25 points, or 9%, to 4,328.50.
