Wall Street set for flat open, big bank earnings mixed

REUTERS: Wall Street was set to open largely flat on Tuesday, as investors took a breather following a record rally on optimism over the U.S.-China trade deal, while the big U.S. banks reported mixed quarterly results.

Wells Fargo & Co slid 3.4per cent after reporting a 55per cent slump in profit, as it set aside US$1.5 billion toward legal expenses, while Citigroup Inc rose 0.3per cent as it topped Wall Street profit estimates. China has pledged to buy nearly an additional US$80 billion of manufactured goods from the United States over the next two years, plus over US$50 billion more in energy supplies, Reuters reported, citing a source briefed on the trade deal that is expected to be signed on Wednesday."Expectations are for flat to negative earnings this quarter and I don't think there are any surprises," said Peter Cecchini, chief market strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald in New York.

Delta Air Lines Inc rose 3.8per cent after reporting a better-than-expected quarterly profit, boosted by customers gained from rival airlines' 737 MAX cancellations.
