US Futures on Green after a Rate Cut signal by FED Bullard

Futures show a positive start of the session on Tuesday and a likely sell-off after the FED talks about interest rates down.

Dow is up 0.4%, NASDAQ returns 0.5%, and S & P 500 will open 0.5%.

President of FED St. Louis James Bullard said in a statement Monday that "the Fed will be looking to help expand the economy in terms of trade disputes and declining inflation," he is also the first member to mention interest rate cuts.

Bullard is one of FED's most "dovish" representatives, and the most authoritative indicator of whether the bank will change its policy is Jerome Powell's statement at 16:45 or 13:45 GMT,
