Wall St set for flat open as investors parse earnings

Bank of America and Wells Fargo shares were down 1 percent each in premarket trading after the banks posted lower quarterly earnings. "We're looking at a flattish kind of market that is looking to grasp a positive theme and the banks haven't delivered this morning," said Andre Bakhos, managing director at Janlyn Capital in Bernardsville
