European stocks inched up, while U.S. equity futures were flat on Wednesday ahead of a policy decision by the Federal Reserve.

European stocks inched up on Wednesday, while U.S. equity futures traded flat as investors waited for the outcome of a Federal Reserve policy meeting due later. Miners were lower as China took aim at soaring commodity prices.

U.S. equity futures ES00, -0.07% YM00, -0.17% NQ00, +0.06% held steady a day after the S&P 500 SPX, -0.20% and Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.71% backed away from records to close lower on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.27% also dropping. Stocks slipped following data that showed a bigger-than-expected drop in May retail sales, while producer prices rose faster than expected.
