U.S. stock futures fell on Friday as Wall Street eyed its best week since April even as the results of the presidential election remained unclear, CNBC reports. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by 64 points, or 0.2 percent, while futures for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 slid 0.4 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively. Earlier in the session, Dow futures were down by more than 200 points. Futures regained some of their losses after the Labor Department said the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 6.9 percent in October from 7.9 percent. Economists polled by Dow Jones expected the rate to dip to 7.7 percent.
