Stock futures ticked up in early trading Tuesday as traders considered the latest batch of corporate earnings results and mulled prospects of another robust stimulus proposal getting passed.
The S&P 500 looked to add to its record closing high, while contracts on the Nasdaq fluctuated between gains and losses. Contracts on the Dow also rose, with the index on track to shake off Monday's declines. Shares of Dow component Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) jumped in early trading after its fourth-quarter results and full-year forecast topped estimates.
Stocks this week have also been closely tracking traders' assessments of the path forward for more fiscal stimulus, especially as concerns over new variants of the coronavirus and a disorderly vaccine roll-out raise the specter of longer-term virus-related damage to the economy.
