Wall Street futures weren’t quite a perfect guide: rather than anything steep it was pretty flat at the opening bell.
Here are the snaps:
Approaching the US open investor sentiment appears to have soured somewhat: futures earlier suggested that Wall Street would gain, but now the S&P 500 is set for a 0.2% decline when it opens in a few minutes.
