U.S. stock index futures signaled a lower open on Friday ahead of a crucial meeting between Greece and its euro zone creditors which put investors on edge.
The news comes after Germany rejected Greece's request to extend its loan agreement Thursday, calling it a "Trojan horse" designed to win more concessions on the country's international bailout than it wants to grant.
Without securing additional funding, Greece is set to run out of money to pay down its debts as early as the end of March, risking default and a possible exit from the euro zone.
On the data front, it should be a low-key end to the week, with just the Markit flash manufacturing PMI due, together with CPI data revisions.
Friday will also be a quiet day for earnings, with just a handful of companies reporting including Deere and Public Service before market open.
