July 23 (Reuters) - Wall Street futures were little changed onTuesday amid a flurry of mixed corporate earnings, as investor focus turned to BigTech results scheduled laterin the day to gauge ifthe market's recent record-breaking rally has momentum to spare.
With investors returning to megacap growth stocks on Monday, the S&P 500 .SPX and the Nasdaq .IXIC logged their biggest one-day gain in more than a month, snapping a three-day losing streak triggered byinvestors exiting megacaptech stocks in favor of underperforming sectors.

"The consensus seems to be for encouraging figures later, with surveys suggesting investors are expecting earnings results, (not necessarily lower rates from the Fed), to drive the next leg in the equity rally," analysts at ING said in a note.
"On a total return basis, the Magnificent Seven has lost close to 8% this month, tonight's release therefore will have a big say in whether the rally resumes."

United Parcel Service UPS.N slumped7.8% after missing earnings estimates on subdued packagedelivery demand and higher labor-contract costs.
Coca-Cola KO.Nrose 1.0%, whileComcast CMCSA.Ogained 2.2% after results.

Economic data scheduled for this week including the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, will be crucial in assessing the monetary policy outlook amid the recent inflation downtrend and signs the labor market is easing.

Among other single movers, NXPSemiconductors NXPI.O slumped 7.9% after the company forecast third-quarter revenue below estimates, as it battles sluggish demand from automotive customers.
