Open: | 26.90 | | The Dow was headed for an over 300 point gain at Tuesday's open, with the Trump administration approving Joe Biden's transition and the president-elect set to pick former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen as Treasury secretary. A day earlier, the Dow Jones Industrial Average soared 327 points after AstraZeneca and Oxford said their Covid-19 vaccine was up to 90% effective, in a third straight Monday of encouraging late-stage trial data.

Heading into Tuesday's trading on Wall Street, so-called reopening stocks like airlines and cruise lines were getting another boost. Tech stocks, seen as beneficiaries of the pandemic stay-at-home economy, were steady after a rough Monday that put a cap on the Nasdaq's gains. (CNBC) | | | | On today's economic calendar, the S&P/Case-Shiller report on home prices for September is out at 9 a.m. ET. It's expected to show a 5.6% year-over-year increase for the report's 20-city index. That compares to a 5.2% August increase. The Conference Board's consumer confidence index for November is released at 10 a.m. ET. Economists see a drop to 98 from October's 100.9 reading. (CNBC) | | | After weeks of delay, General Services Administration chief Emily Murphy told Biden the Trump administration is making federal resources available for his transition to the White House. A letter from Murphy was officially released minutes before Trump tweeted that he approved the move. However, the president reiterated his false narrative about a "corrupt election." (CNBC)
Just 3% of Trump voters think Biden won the 2020 election, while 73% think the incumbent was the victor, according to a CNBC/Change Research poll. As Trump repeatedly loses vote challenges in court as his lawyers fail to prove wrongdoing in the election count, two-thirds of his supporters think he should never concede to Biden.
* Michigan certifies Biden election win, days after Trump leans on state's GOP lawmakers (CNBC) | | | Yellen, if approved by the Senate, would become the first woman to serve as Treasury secretary. The 74-year-old labor economist is widely seen as a politically "safe" pick for the role, likely to garner support from Senate Republicans as someone capable of pursing bipartisan compromise during an otherwise fragile time for the economy. (CNBC)
In addition to Biden's announcement that he intends to nominate Antony Blinken as secretary of State and Jake Sullivan as national security advisor, the president-elect on Monday chose Alejandro Mayorkas to lead the Homeland Security Department and Avril Haines as director of national intelligence. Biden also picked former Secretary of State John Kerry as a special presidential envoy for climate. (CNBC) | | | | General Motors said it's reversing course and will no longer back the Trump administration's effort to bar California from setting its own emissions rules in an ongoing court fight. The about-face Monday came as GM sought to work with Biden, who has made boosting electric vehicles a top priority. The U.S. automaker said last week it plans to increase spending on EVs and autonomous vehicles by 35%. (Reuters) | | | | Tesla (TSLA) co-founder Elon Musk, 49, is now the world's second richest person after he leapfrogged Microsoft (MSFT) billionaire Bill Gates, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, which tracks the wealth of the world's 500 richest people. In January, the electric automaker's CEO was ranked 35th on the rich list. | | Best Buy (BBY) reported quarterly earnings of $2.06 per share, beating the consensus estimate of $1.70 a share.

Burlington shares slid 3.5% in the premarket. | | | | J.M. Smucker (SJM) reported quarterly earnings of $2.39 per share, 16 cents a share above estimates. Revenue beat forecasts as well. The producer of Jif peanut butter, Folgers coffee and other brands also raised its full-year earnings forecast.

Smucker shares rose 1.8% in premarket trading. | | | | Food producer Hormel (HRL) fell a penny a share shy of forecasts, with quarterly earnings of 43 cents per share.
