Before the bell: S&P futures +1.58%, NASDAQ futures +1.54%
U.S. stock-index futures surged on Thursday after weekly jobless claims hit their lowest level since the U.S. economy went into lockdown to fight the coronavirus pandemic. An additional support for the market was provided by hopes of an economic recovery, a rebound in oil prices and upbeat data on China's exports for April.
