These late gains broke a recent trend of poor finishes, with the Dow and S&P 500 now potentially recording a positive week, meaning March could be the fourth strong month in five. The Nasdaq Composite is still 1.8% lower, heading for its first down month since October. U.S. stock index futures edged higher on Friday as investors bought undervalued energy and bank stocks betting on what is expected to be the fastest economic growth since 1984, while awaiting inflation data later in the day.

Bank stocks are likely to be in the spotlight Friday after the Federal Reserve announced late Thursday that these financial institutions can resume buybacks and raise dividends in the second half of the year, pending the results of stress tests in June.
Weekly jobless claim fell to a one-year low and fourth-quarter GDP growth beat expectations on Thursday. Friday sees the release of personal income and spending figures for February as well as the final print of the Univercity of Michigan reading for March.
