img Forexsq.com - U.S. stock futures traded slightly higher Wednesday on hopes that Greece will soon ink a deal clearing the way for a second bailout that will allow it to avoid default.

Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJ2H +0.12% rose 16 points to 12,847. S&P 500 Index futures SP2H +0.10% rose 0.4 point at 1,345.10, while Nasdaq 100 futures ND2H +0.16% added 2.75 points to 2,532.50.

“Some optimism that a deal will be struck today in Greece is tentatively propping up the markets this morning,” said Mike McCudden, head of derivatives at Interactive Investor in London.
