Stock futures are on the rise this morning, following yesterday's massive selloff. Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) futures are up 170 points after suffering an 876-point drop on Monday, while S&P 500 Index (SPX) and Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) futures rise as well.

The 10-year Treasury yield pulled back a bit after the results.
