* Futures: Dow dips 0.10%, S&P flat, Nasdaq up 0.11%
June 16 (Reuters) - S&P and Nasdaq futures hovered just below record highs on Wednesday with investors on edge before potential comments from the Federal Reserve on when it would taper its massive monetary stimulus.

The central bank's latest policy statement is expected to be released with fresh economic projections at 2 p.m. ET (1800 GMT).
At 6:56 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were down 34 points, or 0.1%, S&P 500 e-minis were down 0.75 points, or 0.02%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 15.25 points, or 0.11%.
