On Friday morning, stock futures showed little movement as the S&P 500 tried to grind out another profitable week. The S&P 500 futures were unchanged. The Nasdaq 100 and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures saw minimal change as well. The Dow and S&P 500 are now on course for what might be a profitable week after the three major averages closed Thursday slightly higher.

Even if the S&P 500 is just up 0.08 percent, this would be its sixth consecutive week of gains. The Dow is up 0.71% for the week and is expected to post its fourth straight positive week. For the week, the Nasdaq Composite is down 0.63%. Wall Street has made relatively quiet swings this week, but this comes after a strong gain since mid-June. This week, the market has been consolidating and flip-flopping a little.
