Wall Street looks set to shrug off yesterday’s negativity heading into Wednesday’s session. The major U.S. index futures currently point towards a higher opening. Earlier in the global trading day, Asian stocks ended mixed. Meanwhile, stocks across the Atlantic are seen recovering after two days of losses. Crude oil prices are higher, although most other commodities are lower. The dollar is mostly weaker, except against the euro. Traders in the domestic markets may look towards overseas optimism and keep a tab on crude oil prices and earnings from homebuilder Hovnanian (HOV).
