U.S. stock index futures rose on Thursday, as investors cautiously welcomed tariff talks between the U.S. and Japan on the final trading day of the week, recovering some ground after sharp losses in the previous session.

Japan’s stock futures climbed after the US paused levies on some consumer electronics and a report said the Asian nation is preparing for tariff negotiations this week.

The Nikkei Stock Average rose 0.6%, with electronics and heavy industry stocks leading gains. TDK added 3.3% and Advantest gained 2.1%, while Kawasaki Heavy Industries advanced 3.5%.
