U.S. stock futures are flat ahead of the Wall Street open after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 finished lower on Tuesday. Traders rotated out of tech names yesterday and pushed into beaten down healthcare, staples and small-cap stocks.
Investor focus today will be on Private Payrolls data along with financial stocks after many in the sector lifted their dividends and announced buybacks after the results from the stress tests.
Morning Movers
Snapshot (as of 7 AM ET)
Oil (/CL) – Oil futures are up 1.3% near $66.20 a barrel as investors are on alert ahead of a meeting of major producers to determine output levels for August.
