US stock futures rose across the board early Friday, but volatility was close by. Investors appeared uneasy at the end of a bruising week for stocks, one that could be the worst the Dow has seen since the height of the financial crisis in 2008, MarketWatch reports.

A more-than-1,000 point drop for the Dow late Thursday was weighing on global markets Friday, with Chinese stocks bearing the brunt of the blow, dropping as much as 6% at one point.
