By 18:55 ET (22:55 GMT) Dow Jones Futures, S&P 500 Futures and Nasdaq 100 Futures were all trading flat.
In extended deals, Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) fell 13.6% after the company reported Q2 EPS of $0.81, slightly beating expectations of $0.80 while revenue came in at $4.1 billion versus $3.96 billion expected.

Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ:URBN) fell 2.7% after the company reported Q2 EPS of $0.64 versus $0.69 expected while revenues were reported at $1.18 billion, in-line with expectations.
