Summary A decline Wednesday would break a four-day winning streak for the market.
NEW YORK (AP) - US stock futures are edging lower after a weak Chinese trade report outweighed optimism on corporate earnings.
Dow Jones Industrial futures are down 9 points at 15,213. The broader Standard & Poor s 500 futures are down 3 points at 1,643. Nasdaq futures are down 4 points at 2,971.
A decline Wednesday would break a four-day winning streak for the market.
Later Wednesday, investors will study the minutes from June s meeting of the Federal Reserve board of governors, along with a speech by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Encouraging US economic news has sparked gains in some markets this week. But Wednesday s report that Chinese exports and imports each fell in June compared with last year raised questions about whether China s era of breakneck economic growth is over.
