U.S. stock futures were little changed a day after the S&P 500 rose to another fresh record close.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were about 23 points lower. S&P 500 futures sat near the flatline while Nasdaq 100 futures were in mildly positive territory. The S&P 500 broke a 2-day losing streak on Tuesday to post a record close, bringing its 2021 gains to more than 17%.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will say on Wednesday that enacting the trillion-dollar bipartisan infrastructure bill is key to keeping America's status as the "world's pre-eminent economic power." Her comments come as investors await the final details of the bill, which the Senate is currently haggling over.
Investors will also be keeping an eye on employment data being released by ADP Wednesday that comes before the big jobs report Friday.
Earnings season continues Wednesday General Motors set to report before the bell. Travel stocks MGM Resorts, Wynn Resorts and Booking Holdings will report after the bell.
A strong earnings season continued after the bell Tuesday with Lyft and Caesars Entertainment reporting stronger-than-expected results for the second quarter and citing a rebound to pre-pandemic levels of activity.
In the regular trading session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 278 points, or 0.8%, to 35,116.40. The S&P 500 gained 0.8% to a new all-time closing high of 4,423.15. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.6% to 14,761.29.
The stock market has been taking its cues from the bond market lately, with shares under pressure to start the week after the 10-year Treasury yield fell to 1.15% Monday. The decline in the bond yields was driven by concerns about the spread of the delta coronavirus variant and comments by Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, who told CNBC that the central bank could start tapering its bond purchases as early as October.
The 10-year Treasury yield inched slightly higher to 1.17% Tuesday and was at the 1.18% level on Wednesday. Lower bonds yields lately have tended to set a more bearish tone for equities, by triggering concerns about the pace of the economic comeback.
