🔔 BEFORE THE BELL: U.S. futures are mixed early Tuesday, with Dow -0.1%, S&P 500 +0.3%, and Nasdaq 100 +0.6%, as markets balance a busy earnings backdrop with Wednesday’s Federal Reserve rate decision, where policy is widely expected to remain unchanged. 

Equity momentum remains constructive, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq extending their longest winning streak since December, supported by large-cap tech leadership, while attention gradually shifts to rates, yields, and guidance from policymakers. 

Gold is hovering near record highs around $5,080/oz, reflecting ongoing geopolitical and trade uncertainty, while oil has eased to Brent $64.46 and WTI $60.38, giving back part of recent gains despite weather-related supply disruptions.
