NEW YORK (AP) — Stock futures are trading in a tight range as investors paused following a big start to August.
A bevy of economic and earnings reports are due out Tuesday, so investors will likely wait for cues from that to direct trading. Reports on personal income and spending, factory orders and pending home sales are all due out. Major companies including Dow Chemical, Procter & Gamble and Pfizer all release quarterly results.
The mixed futures trading Tuesday follows a similar pattern seen in European markets.
Dow Jones industrial average futures are up 1, or less than 0.1 percent, at 10,618. Standard & Poor’s 500 index futures are down 0.30, or less than 0.1 percent, at 1,121.50, while Nasdaq 100 index futures are up 1.75, or 0.1 percent, at 1,896.00.
