U.S. stock index futures edged up on Wednesday as investors looked to releases of revisions to U.S. employment data and the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s July meeting later in the day, which could influence the September rate cut bets. Market participants also thoroughly assessed earnings results and guidances from Target (TGT; +13.9%), Macy's (M; -9.9%) and TJX Cos. (TJX; +5.7%), seeking insights into the state of U.S. consumers.
