LISA BARRON, CNN ANCHOR, BIZASIA: A lack of major profit reports could make for a quiet end to the week on Wall Street, where sentiment is being weighed down by an unclear outlook for the U.S. economy. For a preview of Friday trading in New York we go to Sasha Salama at the Nasdaq marketsite -- Sasha.</s>SASHA SALAMA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Thank you, Lisa. We've got the Nasdaq 100 futures pointing to a nice gain here at the open of trade after the overall market fell nearly 1 percent on Thursday to 1842. The big news here comes from Cisco, the No.1 maker of computer networking equipment. The stock, CSCO, is up nearly a dollar in the premarket; after finishing below 17 yesterday it's up around 18 this morning. The news on Cisco, a big restructuring for this networking equipment maker. It's restructuring into 11 groups and this is aimed at really streamlining the company's marketing as well as engineering division. This in the wake of tumbling sales and profits, the slowing U.S. economy not helping, and the recession in high-tech certainly hurting. So we're watching Cisco. We're also watching ADC Telecom, the ticker ADCT. This company lost less than Wall Street expected -- Lisa.
