(Reuters) -Futures tracking the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq indexes were pinned at record highs on Wednesday, buoyed by increasing confidence that the Federal Reserve could restart its monetary policy easing cycle next month.

Good morning. Futures are slightly up this morning after Tuesday's inflation report, which saw the Russell 2000 rise nearly 3%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq set fresh records, while the former surpassed 6,400 for the first time. There are 168 earnings reports on deck for today, per data from TipRanks.

The dollar remained under pressure and Treasury yields rose following weak debt auctions and with a Fed rate cut in September looking increasingly likely.
