U.S. stock index futures were set to open sharply higher on Friday morning as investors continued to focus on movements in the bond market and U.S.-China trade talks.

Around 5:30 a.m. ET, Dow futures indicated a positive open of about 250 points. Futures on the S&P and Nasdaq were also both solidly higher.

Wall Street closed Thursday's session on a more positive note, erasing some of the steep losses suffered earlier in the week. Market sentiment remains volatile, however, as concerns about the softening global economy and U.S.-China trade talks kept investors on edge.
