Futures Hold And Wall Street Gains

U.S. stock futures were stable on Tuesday, allowing major indexes to end August on a positive note. The S&P 500 will see its 7th consecutive month of gains, and the Fed may taper bond purchases. After closing at record highs on Monday, indexes are still seeing massive gains from technology giants like Apple ($AAPL@US), Microsoft ($MSFT@US), Amazon ($AMZN@US), and Alphabet ($GOOGL@US). Even so, oil prices are dropping, and investors are watching monthly jobs figures to determine their best course of action.
