NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. markets were poised to open sharply higher Tuesday after a U.S. market holiday gave investors an extra day to digest another dreadful week. Futures for Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 index were up 1.3% after being up as much as 2% as U.S. markets prepared to reopen following a three-day weekend. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 1.5%.
Shares in Europe and Asia mostly rose. Oil prices climbed above $110 per barrel. Shares in Kellogg jumped more than 7% in premarket after the maker of Frosted Flakes said it will split into three companies focused on cereals, snacks and plant-based foods.
