 Stock futures open little changed as market rally seeks to regain momentum: Live updates
==========

Stock futures were flat on Wednesday evening as Wall Street looked to build on a modest rebound with key economic data on deck. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average ticked up just 3 points, or less than 0.1%. S&P 500 futures were little changed, and Nasdaq 100 futures dipped less than 0.1%. The S&P 500 recaptured the 5,000 level, closing slightly above it. Investors are weighing whether the Federal Reserve can bring down rates without derailing an economy that keeps surprising to the upside. Investors will get another update about the state of the U.S. economy on Thursday, with January retail sales and weekly unemployment claims data due out before the opening bell on Wall Street. Earnings season continues to paint a muddled picture of corporate America. Apple shares were down 5% in extended trading after the tech company reported disappointing iPhone sales and weak forward sales projections. Tesla jumped 7% after beating estimates on the top and bottom lines. Fast-food company McDonald's is scheduled to report earnings before the bell Thursday.
