Stock Futures Attempt to Bounce Back From Monday Selloff

Stock futures look ready to move on from a very manic Monday. Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) and Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) are cautiously higher, while S&P 500 Index (SPX) futures have moved into the black as well. Home Depot's (HD) upbeat earnings could prop up the blue-chip index, while tech stocks are getting a boost after Advanced Micro Devices' (AMD) chip supply deal with Meta Platforms (META). Elsewhere, Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee called for a pause in interest rate cuts until there is more proof inflation is moving in the right direction. 

• Options bulls unfazed by lagging crypto stock.
• Nvidia earnings: Just how impactful are they? 
• Plus, more on AMD's Meta deal; and two stocks cooling off after earnings.
