Wall Street futures fell on Wednesday, with all eyes on minutes from the Federal Reserve's June meeting for clues about the central bank's monetary policy path, while Sino-U.S. tensions and weak economic data from Beijing further dampened the mood.
The second half of the week also has some sets of economic data that are expected, including the non-farm payrolls report on Friday.
Investor focus will be on minutes from the Fed's most recent policy meeting, expected at 2 p.m. ET, as U.S. markets resumed trading after being closed for the July 4 Independence Day holiday. Traders are near certain that the U.S. central bank will hike interest rates in July after pausing last month, but have only priced in a 32% chance that it would need to deliver another hike by October.
"There will clearly be a couple of hawkish sentences that will hit the headlines, given that Fed officials paused their rate hikes in their June meeting, but their dot plot showed two more interest rate hikes before a real and a longer pause," Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote Bank, said.
