Stocks might pull back a bit on profit taking after a four-day 4.7 percent rally in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Thirty minutes before the opening bell on Wall Street, stock index futures indicate that the Dow might give back 30 or 40 of its recent advance.

With no economic data scheduled and no earnings of broad market significance, there isn’t a lot of news to guide the early market action.

Overseas markets traded mixed. While Japan’s Nikkei gained .6 percent and Hong Kong Hang Seng added .3 percent, major averages are modestly lower across Europe. France’s CAC 40 Index is down .1 percent and Germany’s DAX is flat.

Trading is quiet in other markets as well. Crude oil is down a penny to $79.42, as concerns about disruptions from Hurricane Ida fade and traders await data from the American Petroleum Institute due later Tuesday.

Gold is flat at $1101.40 an ounce.

Bonds are trading quietly higher ahead of an auction of $25 billion in 10 years. The benchmark ten year Treasury is up 13/32nd and yields 3.44 percent.

The dollar is mixed, falling .21 to 89.74 against the yen. The euro slipped .0033 to 1.4958 against the buck.

Among the stocks to watch, Priceline (PCLN) is up 11 percent after reporting a $3.45 per share profit for the most recent quarter, which beat Street estimates by 53 cents. Diana Shipping (DSX), JA Solar (JASO), and Lion Gate Entertainment (LGF) are also higher on earnings.

However, Electronic Arts (ERTS) is down 4.2 percent after the company reported six cents per share, which missed by a penny, and also announced a round of job cuts. MBIA (MBI), Vodaphone (VOD), and Fluor (FLR) slipped on earnings news as well.
