NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

Little economic or corporate news is scheduled for the day and U.S. stock futures were drifting ahead of the opening bell.

Typically this time of year sees light trading volumes as many investors and traders take time off work.

The Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 were little changed Friday, ending a lengthy streak of gains. The Nasdaq fell slightly. Each of these indexes has risen more than 25% in 2013.

Shares in Alcoa (AA, Fortune 500) were rising ahead of the open amid reports that Ford will reveal in January that it will start using military grade Alcoa metal in its best-selling F-150 pickups.
