Following the mixed performance seen in the previous session, stocks may show a lack of direction in early trading on Tuesday. The major index futures are currently pointing to a roughly flat open for the markets, with the Dow futures up by just 7 points.
Traders may be reluctant to make significant moves as they await additional news out of the banking sector as well as some key U.S. economic data later in the week.
