The Breakfast Briefing: U.S. Stock Futures Pull Back As Traders Keep Watchful Eye On Syria Tensions

edited April 2018 in The Bullpen
FYI: Consumer inflation reading and Fed minutes due later

U.S. stock futures pulled lower on Wednesday, as the possibility of an American military strike on Syria gave investors pause, while trade concerns continued to linger.

Stocks rallied a day earlier after China presented a less-aggressive stance in trade tensions with the U.S.
An important update on consumer inflation is expected during the session, as are the latest minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
Regards,
Ted
