Futures slip as markets await Fed minutes; Alphabet drops

Shares of Alphabet fell 1.4% in premarket trading after the U.S. Department of Justice said it may ask a judge to force Google to divest parts of its business, including the Chrome internet browser and Android operating system. Indexes closed higher on Tuesday, recovering from Monday's selloff, with technology stocks leading the gains as U.S. Treasury yields eased. Minutes from the Fed's September meeting, when policymakers kicked off policy easing with a 50-basis-point rate cut, are due later in the day.
