Stock futures were a touch higher on Wednesday as investors waited for the minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee’s most recent monetary policy meeting, which could give the market a better sense of where interest rates are headed.

S&P 500 futures climbed 0.1%. Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.2%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures ticked up 41 points, or 0.1%.

The three indexes dropped on Tuesday as the artificial-intelligence trade ran out of steam, with chip makers taking a beating. Treasury yields did drop, though, which eased some of Wall Street’s fears about so-called bond vigilantes selling government debt.
