U.S. stock futures are mixed in premarket trading as investors attempt to extend yesterday’s broad-based rally.

The moves come as tech stocks led Thursday’s gains after the Fed raised interest rates by 25 basis points Wednesday. The major averages are mostly lower this week with the Nasdaq-100 (NDX) being the outlier with gains of about 0.3% so far.

Investor focus today will be on oil prices, which are down for the third straight session and are off roughly 4% this week. Traders will also watch industrial production data, Fed commentary and potential volatility due to Quadruple Witching options and futures contract expirations.
