U.S. stocks looked set for a mixed open Friday, after surging in the previous session on a tide of strong corporate results, but on track to finish the week on a downbeat note. But technology stocks were showing signs of strength, after Amazon.com Inc, Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp. all reported upbeat earnings that sent shares higher in after-hours trade Thursday. Earnings season continues Friday, with Exxon Mobil Corp among the highlights ahead of the bell. Also in focus is the first-quarter estimate of U.S. economic growth, which is expected to show a slowdown, with business investment an indicator to watch. What are markets doing?
