Less than an hour before the opening bell, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures gained 53 points, or 0.4%, to 12655. The Dow closed down just 7 points, or less than 0.1%, on Monday, but was up 436 points, or 3.6% on the month. That sets up the Dow to post its largest January point gain in its history, and best percent gain since 1997.
Standard & Poor's 500-stock index futures advanced 6 points, or 0.5%, to 1315 and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 10 points, or 0.4%, to 2473. Changes in stock futures don't always accurately predict stock moves after the opening bell.
The S&P 500 was also on track for the largest January point gain in history and best percentage rise since 1997, while the Nasdaq Composite was in line for the best January point and percentage performance since 2001.
