NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
U.S. stock futures were mixed ahead of the open, with the Nasdaq pointing down while the Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 were indicating a positive start to the day.
Earnings season is in full swing, with quarterly results expected before the opening bell from firms including Comcast (CCV), Ford (F, Fortune 500) and Pfizer (PFE, Fortune 500). After the close, expect to see results rolling in from Yahoo (YHOO, Fortune 500), AT&T (T, Fortune 500) and Electronic Arts (EA).
Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) looks to be in for a rough trading session. Shares sank more than 7% in premarket trading after the firm's fourth quarter iPhone sales came in below expectations Monday.
DuPont (DCDDX) reported a jump in quarterly sales and operating earnings, propelled by insecticide sales in Latin America as well as earlier seed shipments. The company also announced a $5 billion share buyback.

The turmoil has been sparked, in part, by the U.S. Federal Reserve's plans to reign in the flow of cheap money. The markets expect the Fed to announce a further cut to its bond-buying program Wednesday, which could prompt a withdrawal of cash from vulnerable emerging markets.
"With all this [turmoil] in the background and ahead of tomorrow's Fed policy meeting in which most in the market now expect a further reduction of the bond-buying program by $10 billion, it's a no-brainer that asset allocators around the world are shedding their emerging market holdings," said Ishaq Siddiqi, a market strategist at ETX Capital in London.
