NEW YORK (AP) ? U.S. stock market futures are little changed a day after stocks posted the biggest gains of the year.

Dow Jones industrial average futures are up 10 points to 13,119. The index closed at its highest level since 2007 on Tuesday.

S&P 500 futures are slipping 0.5 to 1,390.30. Nasdaq 100 futures are off 1.50 to 2,692.25.

World markets are mostly higher following positive news on the U.S. economy, and the results of stress tests showed most U.S. banks can weather another financial crisis.

London’s FTSE 100 and Germany’s DAX are up 1 percent. The CAC 40 in France is up 0.7 percent.

The stress test results will make the bank stocks worth watching after surging Tuesday. Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. are among the premarket gainers.
