Wall Street Slightly Lower as Airlines Report Earnings Ahead of GDP Data


Wall Street leaned toward losses before the opening bell today as more earnings poured in while investors awaited the latest data on how the U.S. economy fared in the second quarter. Here are the key highlights:

  • S&P 500 Futures: Fell 0.2% before the bell.
