Stocks: McDonald's Corp (N:MCD) is expected to announce early results from its domestic all-day breakfast push, give a verdict on whether it will spin off its U.S. real estate and announce a dividend increase at its investor meeting on Tuesday.
Shares in the world's biggest restaurant chain have been trading at record highs since Chief Executive Steve Easterbrook said on Oct. 22 that a rebound in quarterly sales at established restaurants showed his turnaround plan was beginning to take hold.
McDonald's launched all-day breakfast on Oct. 6 in the United States, its top profit market.
Commodities: Oil prices rose on Tuesday after the International Energy Agency(IEA) noted unprecedented declines in investment, though the broader picture of an oversupplied market limited any gains.
Brent crude (LCOc1), the global oil benchmark, was up 0.25 cents at $47.44 a barrel by 0937 ET, having fallen for four trading days in a row. U.S. crude (CLc1) rose 0.30 cents to $44.17 a barrel.
The IEA said oil was unlikely to return to $80 a barrel before the end of the decade, despite cuts in investment, as annual demand growth struggles to top 1 million barrels per day.
In its World Energy Outlook, the IEA also estimated that investment in oil would decline more than 20 percent this year and the trend would continue into 2016.
Stocks: U.S. stocks were lower on Tuesday morning, dragged down by Apple, as investors worried about China's economic health and braced for an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve next month.
Apple's shares (O:AAPL) fell 2.5 percent to $117.52 after Credit Suisse (VX:CSGN) said the iPhone maker had lowered component orders by as much as 10 percent. The stock was the biggest drag on the three major indexes.
The report on Apple added to fears of a slowdown in global growth, especially in China, a key market for many U.S. companies including Apple, ahead of the crucial holiday shopping season.
Forex: The euro fell to fresh seven-month lows against the dollar on Tuesday as the diverging monetary policy stance between the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank pressured the single currency lower.
EUR/USD hit lows of 1.0682, the weakest since April 23 and was last at 1.0685, off 0.6% for the day.
The greenback remained broadly stronger after Friday’s robust U.S. jobs data paved the way for the Fed to raise interest rates at its next meeting.
The U.S. economy added 271,000 jobs last month, well ahead of the 180,000 expected by economists and the largest increase since December.
Economic Indicators: U.S. wholesale inventories rose more than expected in September, official data showed on Tuesday.
In a report, the U.S. Commerce Department said that wholesale inventories increased by a seasonally adjusted 0.5%, above expectations for a gain of 0.1%. Wholesale inventories rose by 0.3% in August, whose figure was revised up from a previously reported increase of 0.1%.
EUR/USD was trading at 1.0682 from around 1.0684 ahead of the release of the data, GBP/USD was at 1.5108 from 1.5109 earlier, while USD/JPY was at 123.43 from 123.39 earlier.
