U.S. Stock Futures Dip Amid Earnings and Trade Uncertainty
U.S. stock futures edged lower as investors weighed corporate earnings and simmering U.S.-China trade tensions. Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones, and S&P 500 futures declined 0.24%, 0.7%, and 0.05% respectively during Wednesday evening trading.
The regular session saw broader losses, with the S&P 500 dropping 0.5% amid a government shutdown and renewed trade concerns. Market participants await Friday's CPI data for clues on Federal Reserve policy, while earnings reports from Intel, Ford, and other bellwethers loom.
