Contracts for the S&P 500 added 0.4%, a modest rebound after the index fell the most since March on Thursday. Those on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 climbed 0.7%. Activision Blizzard Inc. gained in premarket trading as Microsoft Corp.’s $69 billion acquisition of the gaming company looked set to clear its final regulatory hurdle. European stocks erased their losses.
