Morgan Stanley earnings, P&G reports, Tesla: 3 things to watch By

-- Stocks wobbled on eto foreign exchange platformTuesday, heading lower with less than 30 minutes left in the trading session as investors weighed stronger than expected retail sales, the escalating conflict in the Middle East, and corporate earnings reports.

Treasury yields were rising as investors took some risk off the table, with the 10-year going above 4.80%. The Federal Reserve, which has been expected to hold interest rates steady when it meets next month, will be weighing the data to help decide its next steps in monetary policy. Some Fed officials have said rising bond yields are helping the Fed do its job of cooling the economy, suggesting another rate increase can wait. 

The futures markets are mostly in agreement on the probability of the Fed holding steady in November, but there's a nearly 40% probability of a quarter-point increase in December.

The Fed wants to push inflation back to its 2% target and has said its work isn't done yet, necessitating keeping rates higher for longer.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to appear at an event at the Economic Club of New York later this week and could provide some tiny clues as to what officials are thinking as the central bank enters its quiet period before the next policy meeting.

Here are three things that could affect markets tomorrow:
