As Brexit risk has loomed, CNNMoney's Fear & Greed index flipped briefly into "Fear" mode on Thursday. That's a complete reversal from a week ago when the gauge of market sentiment was flashing "Extreme Greed."
After all that turmoil, U.S. stock futures are flat early Friday.
Here are the five things you need to know before the opening bell rings in New York:
1. Brexit campaigning suspended: The EU referendum debate in the U.K. has been overshadowed by the killing of lawmaker Jo Cox, who was shot and stabbed after meeting constituents in her district in northern England.
