Before the bell: S&P futures +0.87%, NASDAQ futures +0.99%

U.S. stock-index futures rose solidly on Wednesday, as investors reacted positively to the reports about the withdrawal of a controversial extradition bill, which triggered months of protests in Hong Kong, as well as encouraging data on activity in China’s service sector, which allayed concerns of slowing global growth in the backdrop of an ongoing trade dispute between Washington and Beijing.
