U.S. stock futures experienced a slight decline as investors await the upcoming minutes from the Federal Reserve, which could provide insights into the future of interest rates. Alphabet, Google's parent company, has been under scrutiny, with discussions surrounding a potential breakup impacting its stock performance. As the market digests these developments, analysts are speculating whether the Fed's previous decision on rate cuts was overwhelmingly supported or more contentious. Investors are also keeping an eye on global markets, with mixed performances in Asia and a positive outlook in Europe, all while preparing for significant economic data releases.
