Source: NYSE Stock futures rose early Tuesday morning after the major averages ended another losing week. Stock futures tied to the Dow Jones industrial average rose 59 points, or 0.19%. S&P 500 futures rose 0.24% and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.39%. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and China’s Vice President Liu He held a virtual call on Monday in the state to discuss macroeconomic issues. Markets ended one of their worst halves in decades on Thursday and the major averages posted their fourth week of losses in five despite modest gains during Friday’s session. Last week, despite Friday’s modest gains, the Dow fell 1.3%, the S&P 500 fell 2.2% and the Nasdaq fell 4.1%. During Friday’s session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 321.83 points, or 1.1%, to 31,097.26, the S&P 500 gained 1.1% to 3,825.33 and the Nasdaq Composite added 0. 9% to 185,127 units. In this shortened holiday week, investors look to the June jobs data release on Friday. According to Dow Jones estimates, job growth likely slowed in June with 250,000 added in nonfarm payrolls, from 390,000 in May. Economists surveyed expect the unemployment rate to remain at 3.6%. This week’s economic calendar also includes Wednesday’s minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting. May factory orders are expected on Tuesday, with earnings from WD-40 and Levi Strauss scheduled for Friday.

“With two quarters of consecutive negative economic growth, a Federal Reserve seemingly intent on tightening aggressively regardless of the economic and market environment, and signs of a sharper slowdown, an earnings season that surprises on the upside rather than the expected decline, could help restore a semblance of stability to the markets,” said Quincy Krosby, chief equity strategist at LPL Financial.
