Stock futures point to cautious start; Home Depot up
MADRID (MarketWatch) — Stock futures indicated a cautious start for Wall Street on Tuesday, as investors wait to see whether markets will make another run at key milestones, after a failure to lock those in the previous day.

There are no data reports on the calendar, but a couple of Federal Reserve officials will speak, including Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, while Best Buy Co. and TJX Cos. are due to report ahead of the opening bell. Shares of Home Depot Inc. were rising in premarket after upbeat earnings.

Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (CBT JZ3) rose 5 points to 15,943, while those for the S&P 500 index (GLC:SPZ3) eased 1.7 points to 1,787 and those for the Nasdaq 100 (CME:NDZ3) were off 2 points to 3,382. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/stock-future...beforebell
