U.S. stocks are seen opening lower Tuesday, handing back some of the previous session’s gains ahead of keenly awaited testimony from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Powell and Yellen will appear before the House Financial Services Committee later Tuesday, starting two days of congressial hearings aimed at assessing the economic policy response to the Covid-19 crisis.

President Joe Biden will be briefed by advisers this week on infrastructure, climate and jobs proposals being considered by the White House that could collectively cost as much as $4 trillion, according to people familiar with discussions.
Biden advisers are weighing a price tag of between $3 trillion and $4 trillion for new legislative action, including repairing the country's crumbling infrastructure and tackling climate change, one source said.
Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of the market’s bottom caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Since then, both the S&P 500 and DJIA have advanced 80% and the Nasdaq Composite has gained just over 90%.
