Futures contracts tied to the major U.S. stock indexes rose early Thursday as investors awaited two closely watched jobs reports on the week's final day of trading ahead of the July Fourth holiday.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures indicated an opening gain of more than 200 points. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100 futures also traded in positive territory.

The premarket moves Thursday followed the market's first trading day in the third quarter. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained during the regular session on Wednesday, with the latter jumping more than 1% to an all-time high.
