Wall Street looked set to open higher on Tuesday, as global stock markets continued rising as a result of steadying crude oil prices.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 18,000 for the first time since July on Monday and both Asian and European stock indexes traded higher on Tuesday.
Brent and light crude oil futures traded roughly 1.5 percent higher early on Tuesday, following a volatile 24 hours. Oil prices originally fell by around 5 percent after the "no-deal" in Qatar over the weekend. The rebound is partly due to reports that an oil workers' strike in Kuwait could substantially knock output.
There's a flush of big-name earnings on Tuesday, including Intel and Yahoo. Johnson & Johnson also posted quarterly results.
Stocks to watch include eBay, which Morgan Stanley downgraded to "underweight" on Tuesday, citing lackluster buyer and spending growth and rising competition from Amazon.
This week's flurry of U.S. housing data continues on Tuesday with housing starts and building permits for March at 8:30 a.m. ET.
