1. Jobs report: Can President Trump really create 25 million jobs over a decade?
The April jobs report, due out at 8:30 a.m. ET, will show whether he's on track to deliver on the key promise.

2. Oil prices plunge: Crude oil futures plunged more than 3% on Friday before recovering some of the losses.
It was the first time that prices have dropped below $45 per barrel since major oil producers agreed to slash production in November.

The number of oil rigs in the U.S. has more than doubled over the past year, adding to a lingering global supply glut.
Investors will closely monitor a new snapshot of U.S. oil rig activity from Baker Hughes that will be released at 1:00 p.m. ET on Friday.
