Thinkstock

Last week ended with a furious rally that pushed the indexes back into positive territory for 2016, after the sell-off that started the year had moved stocks into correction territory for the second time in just over six months. The premarket futures are slightly higher to start off the week as investors prepare for an onslaught of first-quarter earnings results, which are right around the corner.
