Outlook 10/14: Stock futures are slight higher on Monday as investors waited to assess whether the next batch of key corporate earnings could power the market to more records. Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Johnson & Johnson report their latest results on Tuesday before the market opens, while Morgan Stanley and United Airlines are set to release results Wednesday. Those reports will come after JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo kicked off the third-quarter earnings season on a high note.

On the data front, September retail sales and industrial production figures are out Thursday, followed by housing starts and building permits Friday.
