Futures rise as third-quarter earnings start on strong note

REUTERS: U.S. stock index futures rose on Tuesday, as the third-quarter earnings season got off to an upbeat start with robust reports from JPMorgan Chase, UnitedHealth and Johnson & Johnson.

Wells Fargo and Citigroup are also due to report on Tuesday, followed by Bank of America and Morgan Stanley later this week.
