NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock futures are sliding along with investor confidence in the ability of the world’s economic leaders to unravel Europe’s worsening debt crisis.

Dow Jones industrial average futures are down 2 points to 12,061. Standard & Poor’s 500 futures are down 2 points to 1,271 and Nasdaq futures have fallen 3 points to 2,466.
