Before the bell:

U.S. stocks were set to extend gains Tuesday, following world markets higher, as investors awaited a confidence vote for Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou.
The vote of confidence, held by the Greek parliament, may determine whether Papandreou's government has the strength to avoid a default and secure a rescue package.
Despite ongoing anti-government protests, investors are largely expecting Papandreou to win the vote, said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist, Janney Montgomery Scott.
U.S. stocks managed gains Monday, even as investors remained cautious about Greece's debt crisis.
