3. U.S. Stock-Index Futures Advance; Johnson Controls Gains in European Trade

U.S. stock futures rose before earnings from Ford Motor Co. (F) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) and as the Federal Reserve prepared to discuss whether to end its bond- buying program.

Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI) gained after Piper Jaffray raised its recommendation on the shares. Express Scripts Inc. (ESRX) declined after earnings missed analyst estimates.

Standard & Poor’s 500 Index futures expiring in June added 0.4 percent to 1,336.4 at 10:57 a.m. in London. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures gained 0.3 percent to 12,459. Nasdaq-100 Index futures increased 0.4 percent.

Stocks fell yesterday as lower commodity prices weighed on energy producers.
