NEW YORK (Reuters) - S&P 500 stock index futures turned negative on Wednesday after BlackBerry devices maker Research In Motion offered a financial outlook that disappointed some investors.
The RIM news raised doubts about the technology sector's ability to withstand the deterioration in the economy. Tech shares have helped underpin the market's recent push for recovery since the November bear market lows.
S&P 500 futures drop 1.40 points, and about even with fair value. Dow futures little changed after being up more than 30 points before RIM news. Nasdaq futures shed 2.50 points.
