U.S. stocks: Futures lean south; Amazon may fall
Durable goods orders ahead; Pandora may also see premarket pressure

MADRID (MarketWatch) — Stock futures leaned lower, with tech stocks setting up for particular weakness after Amazon.com Inc. posted disappointing results, and as investors readied for durable-goods data.

Shares of Pandora Media Inc. could also extend late-session losses on Thursday after results.

Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJU4 +0.01% fell 17 points to 16,981, while those for the S&P 500 index SPU4 -0.20% eased 2.1 points to 1,978.60. Futures for the Nasdaq-100 index NDU4 -0.37% dropped 12.50 points to 3,959.25.

At 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time, a report on durable-goods orders for June will be released. Economists polled by MarketWatch expect orders rose 0.2%, which would reverse a 1% decline in May. The report is often volatile, with swings reported from one month to the next.

Next week has the potential to be big for economic news, with a Federal Open Market Committee meeting and nonfarm-payroll data topping a long list of data on the docket. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-stocks-futures-lean-south-amazon-may-fall-2014-07-25?dist=beforebell
