The Breakfast Briefing: U.S. Futures Post Solid Gains Ahead Of The Open; Earnings Loom

FYI: U.S. stock futures tilted higher on Monday, as the market took news of U.S.-led strikes against the Syrian regime in its stride and turned its focus to a busy week for earnings.

Bank of America Corp. is expected to release its results before the bell, closely watched after the other big four banks’ shares lost ground after their earnings reports on Friday.

A clutch of economic data updates are lined up for release, including retail sales and a home builder’s index. Meanwhile investors will hear from the first of several Federal Reserve speakers this week, who may offer further clues on the timing of U.S. interest rate increases.
Regards,
Ted
