U.S. stock-index futures rose on Tuesday after better-than-expected earnings reports from Walmart (WMT) and Home Depot (HD), as well as upbeat data on the U.S. housing market. Investors also weighed escalating tensions between the U.S. and China against signals of possible break in the impasse between Democrats and Republicans over the next coronavirus aid package.
