Investors will take in September data on U.S. durable goods at 8:30 am (1230 GMT) and new home sales at 10:00 am (1400 GMT). Market-watchers are keen for more details on the health of the economy after Tuesday's weaker-than-expected consumer confidence report raised doubts about spending.
"There's a real sense here that we've gotten to the point in this rally in the marketplace where we're going to need a significant positive catalyst to keep us at these levels, and we're not finding one this morning," said Arthur Hogan, chief market analyst at Jefferies & Co in Boston.
Durable goods orders are expected to have risen 1 percent from August, according to a survey of economists by Reuters. New home sales are forecast to rise to 440,000 units.
