Stock Futures Waver on Earnings Reports

U.S. stock futures wobbled as more earnings reports rolled in that were interpreted by investors as mixed signals about the economy.

Futures tied to the S&P 500 edged down 0.2%, suggesting the broad-market index could give back some of the previous day’s gains, when it closed up 2.8%. Nasdaq-100 futures shed 0.1% on Wednesday and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slipped 0.2%.
