Stock futures improved during the pre-market trading session as a bevy of Dow components reported quarterly results. The better than expected earnings reports from Caterpillar (CAT), McDonald's (MCD) and DuPont (DD) have added more than 80 Dow points at the start, more than half of the bluechip index's early 150 point advance, putting the market on course for its best two-day gain of the year. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq is up 23 points in the early going to cross above 6,000 and the S&P is seeing a 0.4% gain as well.
