NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
U.S. stock futures were mixed, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 index dipping lower while the Nasdaq edged up ahead of the opening bell.
All three indexes ended the trading day with gains on Tuesday, but pulled back from earlier highs when leaders in the House of Representatives said they would support President Barack Obama's plan for a strike on Syria.
Obama is seeking approval from Congress to carry out a military strike after saying U.S. intelligence showed that Syria used chemical weapons which killed more than 1,400 people.
Many Democrats and Republicans have thrown their support behind Obama's plan in recent days, though a number of hurdles must still be overcome before the U.S. can take military action.
