Here are four things you need to know before the opening bell rings in New York:
1. No jump in July: U.S. stock futures were all declining ahead of the open, threatening to erase much (or all) of the gains made so far this month.
Stocks edged to record highs last week but haven't made a decisive move higher this month.

2. Stock market movers -- Yum! Brands, Whole Foods, Adidas, Royal Dutch Shell: Shares in Yum! Brands (YUM) plunged by about 6% premarket.

Whole Food (WFM) shares could see heavy trading after the company issued a disappointing outlook for earnings and sales. The stock was down in extended trading.
Shares in Adidas (ADDDF) slumped by nearly 15% in Frankfurt after the sporting goods company warned that earnings may take a hit as it struggles with slumping golf sales and problems in Russia.
