U.S. Stock Futures Waver Ahead of Fed Minutes

U.S. stock futures wavered ahead of another volley of retail earnings reports and the release of minutes from the Federal Reserve’s most recent policy meeting.

S&P 500 futures were flat and futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.1%. The contracts don’t necessarily predict market moves after the markets open.

European stocks advanced Wednesday for a two-day winning streak. The Stoxx Europe 600 climbed 0.1% in morning trade as gains in materials and utilities sectors were offset by losses in the energy sector.
