New York • Stock futures are taking a breather after another day of record highs on U.S. markets.

Also Tuesday, Lululemon Athletica announced that its founder is giving up his chairmanship after coming under fire for comments about the body type of some potential customers. Shares of the yoga retailer are up about 3 percent before the opening bell.
