World stocks were subdued on Friday after North Korea said it could test a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean, though European markets were supported by upbeat economic data. Dow futures shed 0.1 percent and the broader S&P 500 futures lost 0.2 percent.

The firm's chief business economist Chris Williamson says that points to a high quarterly economic growth rate of 0.7 percent. Citing rising debt levels, S&P lowered its sovereign rating by one notch, to A from AA-, saying credit growth increased China's economic and financial risks.
