U.S. markets were coming off the Thanksgiving holiday and will operate on a shorter schedule on Friday, closing at 1 p.m. ET for Black Friday.

After the Thanksgiving holiday, the futures markets that were opened showed barely any movement.

Around the time of the European close, futures on the S&P 500 were completely flat, and Treasury futures indicated that yields would only rise by up to a basis point across the curve.
