Futures dip as focus shifts to inflation data for clues on Fed's rate path
(Reuters) -U.S. stock index futures edged lower on Wednesday as Treasury yields moved higher and weighed on rate-sensitive equities ahead of crucial inflation data that will offer more clarity on the pace of the Federal Reserve's interest rate reductions. All three major Wall Street indexes closed lower on Tuesday, as a strong rally following the U.S. election lost some steam, while the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yield moved above the 4.4% level on expectations that President-elect Donald Trump's policies could exacerbate inflation.
