U.S. Stock Index Futures Move Lower

Economic data due later this week pushes stock index futures down
Spread bets and CFDs on U.S. stock indices should take into account that the futures are moving lower in anticipation of weak U.S. economic data later this week. Spread betting on the stock market should consider data, as well as how banks are recovering. MarketWatch reports on U.S. stock index futures:

U.S. stock futures stepped lower Wednesday ahead of data on the U.S. services sector, with banks remaining in focus after Deutsche Bank said it will take more than $3 billion in charges but still post a rise in profit.
