U.S. stock futures were muted Tuesday, suggesting that the major stock indexes may take a breather after closing at record highs.
Futures tied to the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average were largely flat, while contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 index ticked down 0.1%.
The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasurys slipped to 1.164%, from 1.159% on Monday. Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.
House Democrats released the biggest piece of their coronavirus relief bill late Monday.

Overseas, the Stoxx Europe 600 was broadly flat.
