U.S. stock futures pointed to a mixed open on Wednesday as investors absorbed results from Microsoft and Alphabet, and focus turned to the Federal Reserve policy decision later in the day.
How are stock-index futures trading On Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA rose 27 points, or 0.08%, to 35438, the S&P 500 SPX increased 13 points, or 0.28%, to 4567, and the Nasdaq Composite COMP gained 86 points, or 0.61%, to 14145. Consequently, it is the Fed’s accompanying statement and comments from Chair Jerome Powell at his press conference, starting at 2:30 p.m., that will carry the greater heft, as investor seek guidance on the future trajectory for borrowing costs.
