Futures Little Changed Following Dow's Longest Streak Since December Advertisment
Stock futures were flat Wednesday after the Dow Jones Industrial Average clinched its longest winning streak since December.
Futures for the 30-stock index sifted off 14 points to 39,013.
Futures for the S&P 500 fell 8.25 points, or 0.1%, at 5,205.50.
Futures for the
NASDAQ Composite dumped 33.75 points, or 0.2%, to 18,165.75.
Lyft climbed 5% and Wynn Resorts added 2% on the back of stronger-than-expected quarterly results. Reddit surged more than 14% in the pre-market following its first earnings report as a public company.

NASDAQ Composite slipped 0.1%.
Earnings remain top of mind for investors heading into Wednesday, with Uber and Shopify slated to post results before the bell. After-the-bell reporters include technology names Airbnb, Instacart and Bumble, in addition to so-called meme stock AMC.

In Japan, the Nikkei 225 collapsed 1.6%, while in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index backed off 0.9%.
