US stock futures pushed up on Tuesday as Wall Street regained its balance after a tumultuous week and braced for the next wave of corporate earnings.

Futures attached to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) hovered around the flatline. Those on the benchmark S&P 500 (ES=F) rose 0.2%, and those tied to the Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) were up 0.3%.

Palantir (PLTR) stock rose in premarket trading after the company’s earnings report beat expectations and revealed its revenue had topped $1 billion in a quarter for the first time.

On Monday, stocks sharply rebounded after tanking on Friday in the aftermath of a number of market-shaking events, including a weak jobs report, fresh tariffs, new signs of rising prices, and President Trump’s firing of the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, Trump continued to amp up pressure on trade Monday, threatening to hike tariffs on India.
