The tech-heavy Nasdaq is adding 0.1% thanks in part to strong earnings from Amazon.com (AMZN 276.84, +16.49). The online merchant is surging 6.3% after its operating income of $405 million beat analyst expectations.
Elsewhere, Boeing (BA 73.97, +0.32) is higher by 0.5% after beating on earnings. However, it should be noted the company guided full-year 2013 earnings and revenue below consensus.
Cautious trade is likely to unfold ahead of the 14:15 ET release of the policy statement from the Federal Open Market Committee.
