Futures for the Dow and S&P 500 rose about 0.1%.A comprehensive report on U.S. employment is due Friday, with economists expecting that hiring slowed to 163,000 jobs in September, down from 187,000 in August. Strong reports on job openings and unemployment benefits applications this week point to a jobs market that remains heated, complicating the Federal Reserve’s inflation fight.Job openings jumped unexpectedly to 9.6 million in August, while layoffs remained at historically low levels. Job openings tend to rise in an environment where workers can quit their current jobs because there are better offers out there.

That’s why the Fed has raised...

GRANADA, Spain — A gathering of EU leaders in Granada was on the brink of collapse on Friday as Hungary and Poland threatened to block a final statement summing up countries’ views on migration and Ukraine’s future accession to the European Union.On his way into the summit, Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki outlined his firm opposition to any statement supportive of a recently agreed European migration deal — effectively killing off chances for consensus around a final text.“There is no possibility of distributing illegal immigrants without the consent of individual member states,” said the Law and Justice party leader, who faces a parliamentary election on October 15. “Poland puts a strong veto to such a position.”Hungary’s Viktor Orbán was even more incendiary, saying that Poland and Hungary had been “pushed” to sign off on an EU migration reform plan earlier this week but would not endorse any compromise position in Granada. “After this, there is no chan...
