April 21 (Reuters) - U.S. stock indexes were set to open little changed on Thursday as oil prices steadied and investors assessed a raft of earnings reports that could provide fresh catalysts to drive the market.
Crude prices hovered near five-month highs after the International Energy Agency said 2016 would see the biggest fall in non-OPEC production in more than two decades. O/R
Better-than-expected results and a recent rebound in oil pushed the S&P 500 closer towards its record high of 2,134.72.
S&P 500 companies are seen reporting a 7.5 percent fall in first-quarter profit on average, and a 1.3 percent decline in revenue, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
However, market analysts say investors seem to be looking past the lowered expectations for earnings and revenue growth, and booking short-term profits.
"I think the market is extremely tired," said Matthew Tuttle, chief executive, Tuttle Tactical Management in Greenwich, Connecticut.
"We do think we're going to make a run at the all-time high, but ... I don't see how we just totally take off again without some sort of pause," he said.

Horton DHI.N and Southwest Airlines LUV.N were up about 2.5 percent each after both joined other companies that reported profits ahead of estimates.
