Dow Jones futures, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures, were higher ahead of Tuesday's stock market open. Nvidia rebounded, while big earnings reports this week include Microsoft, Boeing, Tesla, Meta Platforms and Google parent Alphabet.

This week's calendar of economic data will feature first-quarter GDP and the Fed's primary inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index. Based on the already reported inputs, the forthcoming data likely won't spell relief for the recent surge in interest rates.
The GDP data, out Thursday, will provide the big picture. The first official estimate of real GDP is expected to show 2.1% growth in the first quarter, down from 3.4% in the fourth quarter.
Along with GDP, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reports the core PCE price index. Personal spending and outlays for March are due Friday.
