Stock futures were little changed Wednesday as investors analyzed fresh earnings and awaited the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision. Futures tied to the S&P 500 were up marginally, while Nasdaq-100 futures advanced 0.2%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures added 8 points, or 0.02%. A stronger-than-expected reading of U.S. gross domestic product did little to shift investor attention away from interest rates and rolling corporate earnings. The U.S. economy grew at a 3% clip in the second quarter, the Commerce Department said Wednesday, while economists polled by Dow Jones were looking for 2.3% in the April-through-June stretch. Starbucks shares climbed 5% after the coffee chain posted stronger-than-expected revenue for the third fiscal quarter, which boosted confidence in the company’s turnaround efforts. On the other hand, Visa slipped 2% despite quarterly results coming in better than expected. Investors remain largely on standby ahead of the Fed’s interest rate decision on Wednesday afternoon and awaiting earnings from “Magnificent Seven” firms Meta Platforms and Microsoft. Shares of both technology stocks were marginally higher in the premarket. Wednesday’s action follows a losing day on the Street, marking the first session of the last seven in which the S&P 500 did not close at an all-time high. The S&P 500 slid 0.3% on Tuesday, while the Dow and Nasdaq Composite lost about 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively. The major averages were weighed down as the progress of U.S. trade talks with China became shaky. U.S. negotiators ended discussions with Beijing, and the potential extension of a pause on higher China tariffs remained uncertain. A postponement of these higher rates won’t be final until President Donald Trump signs off on the plan, U.S. negotiators said. Trump on Wednesday asserted that his Friday deadline is firm, and also said India will now pay a 25% tariff. Investors anticipate the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady Wednesday afternoon. Fed funds futures are pricing in a nearly 98% likelihood of the central bank keeping its key rate at a range of 4.25% to 4.5%, according to CME Group’s FedWatch tool. “Despite increased political scrutiny, Fed Chair Jerome Powell continues to signal patience around any interest rate decision,” said Jerry Tempelman, vice president of fixed income research at Mutual of America Capital Management. “Financial markets do not anticipate any change in monetary policy from the Federal Reserve until at least September.” Following the decision, traders will turn to a press conference with Powell for insights into the path of monetary policy. This comes as President Trump and allies have tried to pressure the central bank leader to bring the borrowing cost down. They’ll also follow the continued stream of earnings reports. Etsy will provide its quarterly results before the bell on Wednesday, followed by Ford and Robinhood after the market close. Treasury yields climbed on Wednesday after data showed the U.S. economy grew at a much better than expected pace in the second quarter. Investors also awaited a key Federal Reserve decision. The 10-year Treasury yield rose about 3 basis points at 4.35%. The 2-year yield was up by 2 basis points to 3.90%, and the 30-year note yield gained 3 basis points to 4.89%. Asia Pacific markets ended the trading day mixed. Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 closed flat at 40,654.70, while the Topix added 0.4% to end the trading day at 2,920.18. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 closed 0.6% higher at 8,756.40. Mainland China’s CSI 300 ended the day flat at 4,151.24. South Korea’s Kospi added 0.74% to close at 3,254.47. Oil prices dipped slightly on Wednesday as investors awaited developments on U.S. President Donald Trump’s tighter deadline for Russia to end the war in Ukraine and his tariff threats to countries that trade its oil. The most active Brent crude futures edged down by 17 cents, or 0.24%, to $71.52 a barrel by 0839 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude slipped by 11 cents, or 0.14%, to $69.12. The Brent crude September contract that expires on Wednesday was down 11 cents, or 0.15%, at $72.40. Both contracts had settled on Tuesday at their highest since June 20. Gold prices inched higher on Wednesday, helped by a slight pullback in the dollar as investors awaited the Federal Reserve’s policy decision and comments that could offer more cues on the timing of the U.S. central bank’s next moves. Spot gold was up 0.2% at $3,331.03 per ounce, as of 0828 GMT. U.S. gold futures edged 0.1% higher to $3,328.30. The dollar index eased 0.1% after hitting more than a one-month high on Tuesday, making gold less expensive for holders of other currencies.
