(Reuters) – U.S. stock index futures were little changed in choppy trading, after a better-than-expected GDP reading for the second quarter that indicated resilience in the world’s largest economy amid global trade uncertainties.
Gross domestic product (GDP) rose 3% in the second quarter, a Commerce Department advance report showed, compared with expectations for 2.4% growth, according to economists polled by Reuters.
Separately, the ADP National Employment report showed private payrolls rose 104,000 in July, compared with estimates for an increase of 75,000.
At 8:31 a.m. ET on Wednesday, U.S. S&P 500 E-minis were up 3.75 points, or 0.06%, Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 30.5 points, or 0.13%, and Dow E-minis were up 2 points.
