U.S. major stock-index benchmarks saw muted trade Friday, a day after investors scored a boost from the technology and internet-related sector after Apple Inc. became the first U.S. public company to surpass a market capitalization of $1 trillion. However, all eyes are on the jobs report, which is due early in the session and should help influence the buying mood on Wall Street.
