Stock futures are little changed as investors look past government shutdown: Live updates

Stock futures are little changed Wednesday night after the S&P 500 logged a fresh high and investors appeared to shrug off concerns tied to the latest U.S. government shutdown.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 20 points, or 0.04%. S&P futures slipped 0.05%, while Nasdaq 100 futures were also 0.05% lower.

The major U.S. stock indexes closed in the green on Wednesday on hopes that the funding stoppage would be brief and therefore limit any serious effects on the economy. The S&P 500 gained roughly 0.3% to end the session at a record high, while the Nasdaq Composite closed 0.4% higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 43 points, or 0.1%.
