US stocks set for a bounce
U.S. stocks were tipped to open higher on Tuesday, judging by trade in equity futures , recovering some of the previous day's falls as investors waited to see how the crisis in Greece unfolds.
Focus was also seen turning to U.S. economic data with May international trade numbers out at 8:30 a.m. EDT, followed by JOLTs job openings data at 10 a.m. and May consumer credit figures at 3 p.m.
"The U.S. economy is continuing to generate mixed signals in the wake of last week's rather disappointing payrolls report," Michael Hewson, chief markets analyst at CMC Markets, said in a note.
"May's trade balance data is expected to show a wider $42.75 billion deficit, from April's $40.9 billion figure."
