NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Goldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ, Fortune 500) and Coca-Cola (KO, Fortune 500) released results before the open, while Intel (INTC, Fortune 500) and Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500) are on tap after the market closes.
Goldman Sachs reported earnings and revenues that topped forecasts, and the stock edged up in premarket trading. Johnson & Johnson and Coca-Cola also reported better-than-expected profits. Shares of both Dow components were higher in premarket trading.
U.S. stock futures were higher ahead of the opening bell Tuesday on the back of decent corporate results.
Stocks fell Monday, with the sell-off intensifying following news of two explosions in Boston. The Dow plunged 266 points, or 1.8%, while the Nasdaq and S&P both lost more than 2%.
CNN reported that the bombs exploded near the end of the race, killing three people and injuring at least 144. The FBI has taken the lead in investigating the attacks.

Meanwhile, gold rebounded a little Tuesday, a day after a 9% tumble to a 2-year low. Other commodities were mixed.
"I think yesterday's decline, in both commodities and equities, may have been overdone, so we're having a bit of a rebound," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital.
The Boston bombings have "a minimal economic impact, but a very large emotional impact in the marketplace," added Lazard managing director Art Hogan, who was working in Boston at the time of the attack. "This is a harsh reminder that we live in a very dangerous world."
Hogan said the impact of the attack on Tuesday trading remains to be seen, and is likely to be influenced by the release of new information.

On the economic front, reports on inflation, housing starts, building permits and industrial production are all due in the morning. The International Monetary Fund is also due to release new global economic forecasts Tuesday.
The CPI is expected to have slipped 0.1% in March, according to a consensus of economist opinion compiled by Briefing.com.
Industrial production is forecast to have gained 0.3% in March. Housing starts are expected to have risen to an annual rate of 935,000 last month, and building permits are expected to have been virtually flat at an annual rate of 945,000.
European markets were weaker in morning trading on concerns about slowing global growth, while Asian markets ended mixed. The Nikkei dropped 0.4%, the Shanghai Composite added 0.6% and the Hang Seng fell 0.5%.
