U.S. futures were trading lower.
In early European trading, Britain's FTSE 100 edged down less than 0.1% to 10,360.01, after Keir Starmer announced he was stepping down as leader of the governing Labour Party and will leave office within weeks. Germany's DAX was down 0.2% to 24,940.33, while France's CAC 40 fell 0.5% to 8,378.85.
