Investors are weighing the chances of another jumbo interest-rate cut and China's launch of aggressive stimulus.

US stocks inched up before the bell on Tuesday, poised to pick up on a winning streak as pro-rate-cut Fedspeak and China's launch of aggressive stimulus lifted market spirits. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose roughly 0.1%, while S&P 500 futures edged above the flatline on the heels of a record close. The tech-laden Nasdaq 100 also rose 0.1.%.
