U.S. stock futures are higher to start the day as investors await the Federal Reserve projections on the U.S. economy. Clues on the health of the economy and how long the Fed will maintain a loose monetary policy will be the key points. Also, will the FOMC introduce yield curve control measures after a jump in U.S. Treasury yields, and the prospects for a V-shaped recovery will be questions that need answers.

TheS&P 500 took a break on Tuesday and closed at 3207.18 below potential resistance at 3246.00. The trading came with lower volume than the previous two sessions, and RSI remained in the overbought zone.
