U.S. stock index futures were subdued on Friday after a rally in the previous session, when a new trade agreement between the United States and Britain had fueled expectations of more such deals to ease the sting of the global trade war.

U.S. stocks opened the session higher on news China and the U.S. will begin trade talks later this week in Switzerland.

The Dow industrials add nearly 300 points, pushed higher by a rally in Disney stock.
