July 5 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures added to losses
slightly on Friday after data showed a stronger-than-expected
job growth in June, but moderate wage gains could still
encourage the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this month.
Nonfarm payrolls increased by 224,000 jobs last month, the
most in five months, the government said, while economists
polled by Reuters had expected a rise of 160,000. 8:38 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis 1YMc1 were down 72 points, or
