Index futures fluctuated between slight gains and losses in what looked like a low-volume, erratic session ahead of a holiday-shortened week.
Equities have rallied for four straight days, rebounding from a spate of weakness over the last two months. Moves to avert a debt crisis in Europe and surprisingly strong regional business data helped lift some of the gloom on Wall Street.
