US futures are pointing to a slightly lower open after the first positive Wall Street close for 2023 on Wednesday.

Early attention is on December FOMC minutes which were largely consistent with Powell's hawkish-leaning press conference and offered no additional color on the direction of Fed policy. More positive reopening news from China spurred Asian benchmarks.
