U.S. stock futures rose, indicating the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index will end a seven-day losing streak, amid optimism the International Monetary Fund may help Italy after the nation’s borrowing costs surged.

S&P 500 futures expiring in December climbed 1.5 percent to 1,171.20 at 8:04 a.m. Tokyo time. The index has lost 7.9 percent since Nov. 15, including the worst Thanksgiving week decline since 1932.
