ADP Report: Tomorrow's Headliners

Stock quotes in this article:ADP, COST, BIG, BJ, TTWO, FL, PETM 

In the last beige book report, released on Jan. 13, the Fed's regional banks said that while economic activity remained at a low level, conditions improved modestly further, and those improvements were broader geographically. Economists will closely watch what the beige book says this time, as the report is used by the Federal Open Market Committee for interest rate policy. The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for March 16.

On the earnings front, Costco Wholesale (COST), Big Lots (BIG), BJ's Wholesale (BJ) and Joy Global (JOYG) are among a handful of companies set to report quarterly results before the start of trading Wednesday.

After the closing bell, Foot Locker (FL), PetSmart (PETM), Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) and Yamana Gold (AUY) will open their books of the recent quarter.

Investors will also be focusing on the Energy Department's weekly inventory report, due at 10:30 a.m. EST, as oil prices hover just below $80 a barrel.
