U.S. stock index futures were lower ahead of the open Tuesday as the dollar made gains against the euro and yen. Results from the next batch of corporate earnings could shift early market sentiment.
European shares were lower across the board with basic resources stocks dragging on momentum. The UK economy grew twice as fast as expected in the third quarter, according to official data. The result dimmed expectations for another round of quantitative easing in the near term and boosted the pound against the dollar [GBP=X 1.5854 0.0122 (+0.78%) ].
