Futures climb with Yellen on tap

U.S. stock index futures rose on Monday, indicating the S&P 500 will climb for a second straight session, ahead of a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen. Yellen is scheduled to speak in Chicago at 9:55 a.m. EST (1355 GMT) and investors will monitor her comments for her stance on interest rates. On March 19, equities dropped after Yellen raised the possibility of an earlier-than-anticipated increase in rates.
