US stock futures edge lower as hawkish Waller cools rate cut hopes
==========

US stock index futures fell slightly in evening deals on Wednesday after hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller saw markets run out of steam, following a strong session on Wall Street. Waller said there was no hurry for the Fed to cut interest rates now, citing a slew of hotter-than-expected inflation readings in recent months. Overall trading volumes were somewhat muted ahead of the Good Friday holiday. S&P 500 Futures fell 0.1% to 5,304.75 points, while Nasdaq 100 Futures fell 0.1% to 18,485.75 points by 19:16 ET (23:16 GMT). Dow Jones Futures fell 0.1% to 40,119.0 points.
