US pre-open: Futures in the green as earnings season kicks into high gear
Wall Street futures were in the green ahead of the bell on Tuesday after the S&P 500 closed at a fresh record high a day earlier.
As of 1255 BST, Dow Jones futures were up 0.04%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures had the indices opening 0.10% and 0.11% firmer, respectively.
The Dow closed 61.92 points lower on Monday in what was a mixed session for major indices.
Tesla shares were in the red prior to the open despite the electric carmaker posting record quarterly net incomes of $438.0m, while UPS shares soared after smashing Wall Street estimates with first-quarter revenue growth of 27%.
Earnings will be firmly in focus after the session also, with Alphabet, Microsoft and AMD reporting following the close of trading.
Also in focus, the Federal Reserve will kick off its two-day policy meeting today, with the central bank not expected to take any action.
On the macro font, February's S&P/Case-Shiller home price index will be published at 1300 BST, while consumer confidence figures for April will follow at 1400 BST, as will this month's Richmond Fed manufacturing index.
