Stock Futures Inch Up After Wall Street Indexes Hit Records

U.S. stock futures inched higher, putting Wall Street indexes on course to extend gains that followed the Federal Reserve’s move to scale back its bond purchases.

S&P 500 futures gained 0.1% and futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average traded just above the flat line. Contracts on the Nasdaq-100 added 0.5%. Changes in futures don’t necessarily predict market moves after the opening bell.
