The Breakfast Briefing: Futures Indicate A Higher Open As Earnings Take To The Spotlight

Ted

FYI: U.S. stock index futures are expected to post modest gains at Tuesday's open, as the busiest week of the earnings season kicks up a notch.

Corporate earnings are expected to be front and center of investors' minds Tuesday as Wall Street gears up for financial figures from the likes of 3M, Biogen, Caterpillar, Eli Lilly, General Motors, Lockheed Martin, McDonald's, United Technologies, Polaris Industries and JetBlue, ahead of the opening bell.
