NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
U.S. stock futures titled higher, with the Dow Jones industrial average rising 0.3% and the Nasdaq up 0.5%. U.S. markets were closed Monday for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Stocks ended last week mixed, though it was a bumpy ride. The S&P 500 briefly moved into positive territory mid-week, before falling back into the red. The Dow is also down for the year.
After last year's spectacular rally, investors have been looking for signs the economy will be able to keep the bull market going in 2014. This year is expected to be another good year for stocks, but perhaps not as strong as 2013.
