The Breakfast Briefing: S&P 500 Poised To Rise, Lifted By eBay Surge

FYI: U.S. stock-index futures on Thursday were little changed as a new month kicked off, with gains for eBay and Facebook offset by drops for PayPal and other names.

Investors are getting more corporate earnings later, and Apple is scheduled to report financial results after the close.
Regards,
Ted
