US STOCKS SNAPSHOT-Futures turn negative after jobs report


REUTERS 8:34 AM ET 2/5/2016

Feb 5 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures turned negative on Friday after data showed employment gains slowed more than expected in January as the boost to hiring from unseasonably mild weather faded.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 151,000 jobs last month, below the 190,000 expected by economists polled by Reuters.
