NEW YORK — Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and other large banks are rolling out their earnings reports, and stock futures are headed higher.

Bank of America Corp. posted a second-quarter loss of 90 cents per share Tuesday morning. That's a wider loss than analysts expected. But the bank's shares pushed higher in premarket trading. Part of the loss was a result of Bank of America's 8.5 billion settlement with mortgage-bond investors.

Ahead of the opening bell, Dow Jones industrial average futures are up 76 points, or 0.6 percent, at 12,404. S&P 500 futures are up 8 points or 0.7 percent, at 1,309. Nasdaq 100 futures are up 18 or 0.8 percent, at 2,357.
