Stock market news live updates: Stock futures edge higher as market attempts comeback from earlier sell-off
U.S. equity futures edged higher ahead of overnight trading Wednesday following a choppy earlier session that saw stocks pare some losses from a steep sell-off on Tuesday.
Contracts on the S&P 500 climbed 0.21%, while Dow futures rose 62 points, or about 0.19%. Futures tied to the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite were roughly flat after Facebook parent company Meta (FB) reported stronger-than-expected earnings after the close on Wednesday.
Still, with just three trading days left, the typically-bullish month of April is on pace for its worst performance since logging a 9.0% drop in 1970, according to data from LPL Financial Research.
