Stocks may move to the upside in early trading on Tuesday, adding to the modest gains posted in the previous session. The major index futures are currently pointing to a slightly higher open for the markets, with the S&P futures up by 0.2 percent.
Traders may once again look to go bargain hunting following recent weakness, as stocks are poised to close notably lower for the month of February.
Buying interest waned after an early rally on Monday, however, as concerns about the outlook for interest rates continue to hang over the markets.
