Before the Bell: Dow industrials, U.S. economy, Groupon in focus
Wall Street is pointing gently higher on Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average starting the day less than 100 points from its record level. The U.S. economy ticked higher in the fourth quarter. Europe markets benefitted from defenses of loose monetary policy from both Fed chief Bernanke and ECB chief Draghi. Groupon shares are lower in the premarket after the daily-deals site’s earnings missed expectations.
