LONDON (CNNMoney.com) — U.S. stock futures edged lower Tuesday as investors expressed caution ahead of a slew of earnings reports.

At 4:45 a.m. ET, S&P 500, Nasdaq-100 and Dow Jones industrial average futures were a shade lower.

Futures measure current index values against their perceived future performance and offer an indication of how markets may open when trading begins.

Investors are on edge ahead of a wave of third-quarter earnings this week.

They also may pause for breath after pushing the Dow to a fresh one-year peak on Monday.
