Dow’s hold on 17,000 looks shaky as Alcoa looms
Job openings and two Fed speakers on Tuesday’s calendar

MADRID (MarketWatch) —The Dow Jones Industrial Average could be battling to keep a grip on that key 17,000 level if stock futures for Tuesday are any indication of how the session will go for markets.
Futures pointed south as investors looked ahead to the unofficial start of earnings season and Alcoa Inc. results after the close of trading, while job openings data and two Federal Reserve speakers are also on tap.
Futures for the Dow industrials (CBE:DJU4) fell 28 points to 16,917, while those for the S&P 500 index (GLC:SPU4) eased 4.2 points to 1,966.80. Futures for the Nasdaq-100 index (GLC:NDU4) backed off 5 points to 3,899.25. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/dows-hold-on-17000-looks-shaky-as-alcoa-looms-2014-07-08
