The stock market in Europe and stock futures in the US were looking for direction amid debates over the scale of the Fed's monetary tightening needed to fight inflation.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures contracts closed the session near the opening levels as they failed to find the direction at the resistance zone:
Europe's STOXX50 closed with a slight decline as investors evaluated lower estimates against a record surge in eurozone consumer prices reported on Tuesday.
