NVDA

U.S. stock futures fell on Friday as the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average are on pace to post a losing week after the Federal Reserve's latest policy update.

Futures for the Dow Jones Industrials dumped 159 points, or 0.5%, to 33,534.

Futures for the S&P 500 lost 14.25 points, or 0.3%, to 4,198.

Most commodities prices rebounded a bit on Friday following sharp declines this week as China attempts to cool rising prices and the U.S. dollar strengthens. Futures prices for copper, gold, and platinum rebounded Friday, but were still down big for the week.
