Here are the five things you need to know before the opening bell rings in New York:
1. Fed minutes: The Federal Reserve will post minutes from its two-day June meeting at 2 p.m. ET. Expectations among some investors that the minutes could reveal a slight bias towards raising interest rates sooner rather than later may have contributed to Tuesday's market slide.
"Bottom line is that a set of minutes that bore will likely boost equity prices," noted Steven Englander, a foreign exchange strategist at Citi.

2. Next big banking fine: Citigroup (C) is reported to be close to agreeing to pay $7 billion to settle a U.S. government investigation into the sale of mortgage backed securities. The deal would include billions in help for borrowers, according to the reports.
3. Market recap: U.S. stocks closed lower Tuesday as tech stocks took a beating. The S&P 500 fell 0.7% and the Nasdaq sunk 1.35%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 118 points. There was a lot of excitement about the index cresting over 17,000 last week, but it finished the day a notch above 16,900.
4. Stock market movers -- Alcoa: Shares in Alcoa (AA) rose by 1.7% premarket after kicking off earnings season by beating analyst estimates. Otherwise, activity was thin and U.S. stock futures were flat.

5. International markets overview: European markets began the day mixed after Wall Street's weak close. Asian markets lost ground as subdued China inflation data provided more evidence that the economy is struggling to pick up pace after a below-target performance in the first quarter.
