U.S. stock-index futures advanced, paring earlier gains, on concern that Greece’s debt crisis will persist even after a second international bailout. European finance ministers approved 130 billion euros ($173 billion) in aid for Greece by tapping into European Central Bank profits and coaxing investors into providing more debt relief to shield the region from a default. Greece’s debt may still balloon to 160 percent of gross domestic product in a worst-case scenario, analysis by the International Monetary Fund and European officials indicated. Global Stocks:
