U.S. stocks are seen drifting Wednesday, with investors cautious as the new earnings season starts in earnest, starting with the banking sector.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday he shared concerns over a growing lobbying scandal involving former leader David Cameron who tried to get ministers to help out the now failed supply-chain finance firm Greensill Capital.
Though Cameron's strategy ultimately failed, Johnson has launched an independent review to look at allegations that lobbyists have an "open door" to his government. The economic data slate includes March import prives, which will be of extra interest after CPIrose 0.6% on Tuesday, the largest gain since August 2012, while the Fed's Beige Book is expected to showcase improving economic conditions around the country.
There are also a number of Fed speakers due to discuss the economic outlook on Wednesday, including Chairman Powell, who is set to speak at an Economic Club of Washington.

Oil prices pushed higher Wednesday, helped by the International Energy Agency joining OPEC in raising its forecasts for global oil demand this year, by an average of 230,000 barrels a day from its March forecasts.
