The Breakfast Briefing: Dow Gathers Strength For Higher Open As Traders Brace For Powell Hearing

Ted

FYI: U.S. stock futures on Tuesday pointed to a muted open, putting the main indexes on track to hang around record territory.
Investors are waiting for a flurry of Federal Reserve speeches and economic releases, including remarks before lawmakers from Jerome Powell, President Donald Trump’s pick to run the U.S. central bank.
