Wall Street's main indexes were on track for a muted open on Wednesday, following a selloff in tech and oil stocks in the previous session, as investors parsed quarterly results from banks including Morgan Stanley.

Morgan Stanley rose 3.5% in premarket trading, with the bank joining peers such as JPMorgan Chase in reporting strong profits after a sharp increase in investment banking revenue.

Among other lenders, Citizens Financial Group slipped 1.8%, First Horizon gained 2% and U.S. Bancorp rose 2.8% after reporting third-quarter results.

Steep declines in semiconductor and oil stocks dragged on Wall Street on Tuesday, as investors were assessing a mixed-bag of earnings. Shares of health insurer UnitedHealth also slumped, offsetting the gains from major banks reporting upbeat results.

"We're definitely looking to be pretty flat across major indices, we had a big down day yesterday, driven primarily by some idiosyncratic news around a few names, and that's going to continue in the middle of earnings season," said Zachary Hill, head of portfolio management at Horizon Investments.

"Generally speaking, bank earnings have been pretty well received by the market and that has been helpful for broad indices... you definitely need things other than tech to be working in order for that to continue."

Dow E-minis were up 35 points, or 0.08%, U.S. S&P 500 E-minis were up 4.25 points, or 0.07%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 19.5 points, or 0.1%.
