U.S. stock index futures were trading lower on Wednesday morning.

At around 4:30 a.m. ET, Dow futures dropped 74 points, indicating a negative open of almost 97 points. Futures on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were also lower.

Wall Street ended lower on Tuesday on the back of disappointing manufacturing data, which sparked fears over an economic slowdown. President Trump said that a strong dollar and high interest rates were the reason behind the weak manufacturing numbers.

In the meantime, investors are also awaiting fresh trade talks between the U.S. and China, due to start next week.
