U.S. Stocks Lower After Tuesday's Record Highs

U.S. stock futures are modestly lower ahead of the Wall Street open as oil prices and yields are higher this morning.
The moves come after gains on Tuesday as the S&P 500 (SPX) and Nasdaq-100 (NDX) settled at record highs. Tech stocks led gains on Tuesday with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) up 2.8% to a record high and Marvell Technologies (MRVL) higher by nearly 6% on raised guidance.
Yields are higher this morning and weighing on stocks with the benchmark 10-Year above 5.3%. Oil prices are modestly higher near $90 a barrel as possible further supply disruptions in the Middle East weighed on sentiment.
