Wall Street, a spate of mixed corporate earnings results and a decline in the U.S. GDP growth rate kept investors cautious. Market participants will scrutinize Fed chair Jerome Powell's remarks later in the session for clues to future economic policy.

"And we're trading in a narrow range as investors see how the Fed will thread the needle between being supportive of financial markets if the economy weakens or allowing growth to develop organically."
