Futures up: Dow 0.35%, S&P 500 0.44%, Nasdaq 0.46%

June 6 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures edged up on

Friday as investors awaited monthly payrolls data, while Tesla

shares rebounded on signs of cooling tensions between CEO Elon

Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Shares of the electric carmaker rose 5.4% in

premarket trading after plunging about 15% on Thursday following

Trump's public feud with Musk, including threats to cut off

government contracts with Musk's companies.

Tesla shed about $150 billion in market value on Thursday,

weighing on Wall Street indexes. White House aides scheduled a

call between Trump and Musk for Friday, Politico reported,

likely to ease the feuding after an extraordinary day of

hostilities.

A slew of soft economic data this week has raised concerns

about an economic slowdown caused by trade uncertainties, with

investors looking to May non-farm payrolls at 8:30 a.m. ET to

gauge the labor market's health and the Federal Reserve's

interest rate trajectory.

"Whether it's the ISM surveys, the ADP figures, or the

jobless claims, the tone is clearly one of a weakening economic

momentum," said Julien Lafargue, chief market strategist at

Barclays Private Bank.

The payrolls data comes ahead of the Fed's policy meeting

later this month where traders expect the U.S. central bank to

keep interest rates unchanged.

Traders currently expect two rate cuts by the end of this

year, with the first 25 basis-point cut seen in September,

according to data compiled by LSEG.

On Thursday, investors also took stock of a leader-to-leader

call between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping as they

confronted after weeks of brewing trade tensions and a battle

over critical minerals. The leaders, however, left key issues

unresolved for future talks.

U.S. equities rallied sharply in May, with the S&P 500 index

and the tech-heavy Nasdaq scoring their biggest

monthly percentage gains since November 2023, thanks to

softening of Trump's harsh trade stance and upbeat earnings

reports.

The S&P 500 remains nearly 3.3% below record highs touched

in February.

At 6:01 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 149 points, or

0.35%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 26.25 points, or 0.44%.

Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 99.75 points, or 0.46%.

Most megacap and growth stocks rose in early trading. Shares

of Amazon ( AMZN ) gained nearly 1%.

Broadcom ( AVGO ) shares fell 3.5% after the networking and

custom AI chipmaker's quarterly revenue forecast failed to

impress investors.

Lululemon shares lost 21% as the sportswear maker

cut annual profit target citing higher costs from Trump's

tariffs.
