U.S. stock futures were little changed as finance ministers gathered in Brussels to discuss new budget rules and a Greek debt swap.

European officials will forge ahead today with crafting a long-term plan to tackle the region’s debt crisis, as banking and government negotiators continue trying to reach an agreement that will lighten Greece debt burden. Bondholders negotiating a debt swap with Greece have made their “maximum” offer, leaving it to the European Union and International Monetary Fund to decide whether to accept the deal, the negotiator for private creditors said.
