Dow futures popped on Tuesday, with US stocks eyeing a broader comeback as a wave of earnings reports lifted a market faced with bond yields at multimonth highs and rising tensions in the Middle East. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures gained 0.6%, coming off a six-session run of losses. Futures on the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 also revived to hover above the flatline.
United Health shares added almost 7% after the healthcare group beat quarterly profit estimates, even as it said it expects to take a $1.6 billion from a February cyberattack. Investors were digesting more big bank results: Bank of America reported that first-quarter profit dropped 18% year-on-year as a key revenue source weakened, while Morgan Stanley stock rose as it topped expectations. Elsewhere, BNY Mellon posted a profit beat while Johnson & Johnson reported a revenue miss.
