Futures in the United States are higher ahead of Powell’s speech.
US stock futures rose on Tuesday, led by a rebound in technology firms, as traders awaited Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s address.
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.1 % , S&P 500 futures jumped 0.2 % , and Nasdaq futures rose 0.14 % .
The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite ended the day modestly higher after four days of losses fueled by anticipation that the Fed will be forceful in limiting inflation.
Front-month global benchmarks Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate crude both rose more than 1% as members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allied producers battled to fulfill previously agreed-upon output volumes.
Powell is slated to appear before the Senate Banking Committee at 10:30 a.m. ET to testify about his re-election as chairman of the US Federal Reserve.
