Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) was among the Dow leaders today and will weigh in with quarterly numbers ahead of trading.

2. Beige Book, Wholesale Inflation Data Arrive
The Federal Reserve will issue its Beige Book of economic activity tomorrow, with the market looking very satisfied with conditions at the moment and expecting the Fed to keep rates at current levels.
The Beige Book comes out at 2 PM ET (19:00 GMT).
Kansas City Fed President Esther George said today keeping rates on hold is appropriate “as we assess the economy's response to last year's rate cuts and monitor incoming data.”
The consumer price index out today showed little retail inflation pressure and investors will see if there are any red flags on the wholesale side tomorrow.
The Labor Department issues the December producer price index (PPI) tomorrow at 8:30 AM ET.
Economists expect that the PPI rose 0.2% last month, while the core PPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, is expected to have risen 0.2% as well, according to forecasts compiled by Investing.com.
At 9:45 AM ET, the New York Fed issues its measure of manufacturing activity in the area.
The January Empire State Manufacturing Index is seen ticking up to 3.55.

After the bell today the American Petroleum Institute reported that U.S. oil stockpiles rose by 1.1 million barrels last week.
The API numbers often serve as a guide for what the government numbers will be Wednesday.
The Energy Information Administration will report its inventory numbers at 10:30 AM ET (15:30 GMT).
