DOW rose, growth or correction before the collapse?
Budrigannews.com – Stocks in the United States are expected to open slightly higher on Tuesday, rebounding from the sharp losses of the previous session. This is helped by optimism that China may soon ease COVID-19 restrictions ahead of additional quarterly earnings.
The contract was up 40 points, or 0.1 percent, traded 13 points, or 0.3 percent, higher, and climbed 65 points, or 0.6 percent, at 07:00 ET (12:00 GMT).

When it comes to quarterly earnings, the software industry is expected to be the focus on Tuesday, with numbers from companies like Intuit (NASDAQ:),NASDAQ: Workdaylikewise Crowdstrike Holdings, NASDAQ:
The optimism regarding China’s COVID restrictions and hopes that the recent weakness will prompt OPEC+ to reduce production when it meets next week contributed to Tuesday’s rise in crude oil prices.

Crude prices have fallen below the levels that prompted the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) and its allies to reduce supply in October.
