Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
1. Bonds down, yields up
Prices for all major 10-year government bonds resumed their slide Wednesday, pushing yields up. U.S. Treasuries are now yielding nearly 2.5%, and German yields have hit 1% for the first time since September.
The turmoil is a clear signal that investors are bracing for higher interest rates -- whether the Federal Reserve is ready for its first rate hike in a decade or not.
2. Earnings
Women's clothing franchise Francesca's (FRAN) will report before the open.
Krispy Kreme (KKD), Men's Warehouse (MW) and Box (BOX), an online file sharing and cloud storage company, will report after the close.
Box made a sparkling debut in January when its stock climbed 66% on its first day of trading, but its share prices have since fallen by about 30%.
3. International markets overview
European markets are mostly moving up in early trading, while Asian markets ended with mixed results.
The U.S. dollar was weaker against all major currencies.
4. Tuesday market recap
Wall Street performance was unimpressive Tuesday. The Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 were flat while the Nasdaq dipped by 0.2%.
