Before the bell: S&P futures +0.04%, NASDAQ futures +0.26%
U.S. stock-index futures were flat on Wednesday, as Apple's (AAPL) upbeat report was outweighed by increased concerns of escalation trade tensions between the U.S. and China, following news the U.S. president is considering raising its planned tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports to 25 percent from initially proposed 10 percent. Investors also remained cautious ahead of the announcement of the Fed's decision on monetary policy later today.
