June 5 (Reuters) - ‌U.S. ​stock ​index futures extended declines on ‌Friday after a stronger-than-expected jobs ⁠report further fueled expectations ‌for the Federal ‌Reserve to hike interest rates this year.

A ​Labor Department report showed the U.S. ⁠economy added 172,000 jobs last month, ​compared with economists' estimates for a rise ​of 85,000. The ‌unemployment rate stood at 4.3%, in-line ⁠with expectations of 4.3%.

At 08:32 a.m. ET, ⁠Dow E-minis were down 17 ​points, or 0.03%, S&P 500 E-minis were down 47.75 ‌points, or 0.63%, and Nasdaq 100 ‌E-minis were down ⁠406.75 points, ‌or 1.33%.
