NEW YORK, Nov 5 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures fell on Friday as investors looked to book profits after Wall Street rallied to a two-year high, while they looked ahead to the all-important non-farm jobs report.
* The keenly awaited non-farm payroll report for October will be released at 8:30 a.m. EDT (1230 GMT). Employment is seen rising for the first time since May with 60,000 non-farm payrolls added in the month, while the unemployment rate is expected to remain elevated at 9.6 percent.

* The employment report follows a sharp rally in stocks and commodities worldwide on Thursday that was spurred by the Fed's decision to buy $600 billion in government bonds.
* The dollar was mired near 11-month lows against a basket of currencies while oil eased from a two-year high, but losses were limited by the new round of U.S. economic stimulus, which has boosted the appeal of commodities as an asset class in an environment of a weak dollar.
* Data on September pending-home sales will be released at 10:00 a.m. (1400 GMT).
* S&P 500 futures
* The S&P 500 index is up about 16 percent since the start of September as investors bet that action by the Fed and Republican gains in the U.S. midterm election would create a better environment for corporate profits. The Dow index closed at its highest since the collapse of Lehman Brothers bank in September 2008.

* The premium investors demand to hold 10-year Irish government bonds rather than German benchmarks rose to a euro lifetime high on Friday after a budget some traders said was "unrealistic", keeping pressure on other peripheral sovereign issuers. [ID:nLDE6A40HF]
