U.S. stock futures ticked lower ahead of manufacturing data and a group of earnings reports from retailers and technology companies.
Futures on the S&P 500 slipped 0.2% and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 0.2%. Changes in equity futures don’t necessarily predict moves after the opening bell. The S&P 500 finished lower Monday after the news that President Biden would nominate Jerome Powell for a second term leading the Federal Reserve.
