NEW YORK (Frankfurt: HX6.F - news) , April 11 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures fell on Friday after earnings from JP Morgan Chase (Other OTC: JFTTL - news) , putting the S&P 500 on track to continue its decline after suffering its biggest drop in two months.
* JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM - news) shares fell 2.7 percent to $55.87 in premarket after it reported a far weaker-than-expected quarterly profit as revenue from securities trading fell.
* Also due on Friday are earnings from Wells Fargo & Co .
* S&P 500 companies' first-quarter earnings are projected to have increased just 1 percent from a year ago, Thomson Reuters (Frankfurt: TOC.F - news) data showed.

Investors will be looking at the impact of harsh winter weather on first-quarter earnings, and signs of optimism for the second-quarter.

The CBOE Volatility index is up nearly 14 percent for the week, closing at its highest level since March 14 on Thursday.
* S&P 500 e-mini futures were down 10.25 points and below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures lost 80 points and Nasdaq 100 futures declined 28.25 points.
* For the week, the Dow is down 1.5 percent, the S&P is down 1.7 percent and the Nasdaq is down 1.8 percent.

* Gap Inc lost 4.6 percent to $37.48 before the opening bell after the retailer posted its March sales results.
* Zynga Inc (NasdaqGS: ZNGA - news) rose 1 percent to $4.11 in premarket trade after the company appointed former Best Buy (Berlin: BUY.BE - news) executive David Lee its chief financial officer.
