U.S. stocks fell in early trading on Thursday as a sharp decline in Apple's (O:AAPL) shares weighed on the three major indexes.

Apple was down 2.1 percent at $107.9 at 10:06 a.m. ET, erasing opening gains for U.S. stocks.

Global markets were upbeat after data from China was not as bad as feared and investors awaited a barrage of U.S. data.

Factory activity in China shrank again in September, leading some investors to believe that the government will be more aggressive in its measures to boost the health of the world's second-largest economy.

Global investors will be looking to put a bruising quarter behind them – U.S. stocks posted their worst quarter in four years, while the Shanghai stock market plunged about 25 percent.

"Historically, the third quarter tends to be a difficult quarter and the fourth quarter tends to be the best quarter of the year," said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading and derivatives for Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW) in Austin, Texas.

Investors will be parsing data released this week, with the crucial non-farm payroll numbers due on Friday, for clues on the timing of an interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Data showed the number of Americans filing new applications for jobless benefits rose modestly last week.

1. The world economy lost momentum in September, with China's vast factory sector shrinking again and euro zone manufacturing growth weakening slightly, both casualties of waning global demand. The latest business surveys across Asia and Europe paint a darkening picture and are likely to prompt more calls for central banks around the world to loosen monetary policy even further.

2. Wall Street opened slightly higher on Thursday after surveys showed Chinese manufacturing activity was stronger than feared and investors awaited a raft of U.S. economic data.

U.S. weekly jobless claims data pointed to ongoing tightening in the labor market.

3. Manufacturing activity in the U.S. slowed again in September raising fears that the Federal Reserve could delay raising interest for longer, according to data on Thursday.

The Institute for Supply Management said its index of purchasing managers fell to 50.2 last month from a reading of 51.1 in August. Analysts had expected a more modest decline to 50.6.

4. The U.S. dollar dropped to one-week lows against its Canadian counterpart on Thursday, after the release of disappointing U.S. jobless claims data and as investors eyed an upcoming report on U.S. manufacturing activity.

5. Gold prices were trading at the lowest levels in more than two weeks on Thursday after data pointing to strong gains in U.S. private sector jobs growth last month underlined expectations for higher interest rates from the Federal Reserve.

It's a new month! Let's hope it would be better than the last one.

Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:

 

1. Green on the screen

 

U.S. stock futures are moving up and overseas markets are all rising.

Investors seem cheered by new economic data from China -- the manufacturing figures were certainly not stellar, but they were better than expected.

The official purchasing managers' index hit 49.8 in September, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, up slightly from 49.7 the previous month.

"The equity market is running high on ... optimism that [recent] China stimulus [initiatives] may be working. Traders are buying ... at least today, and we are seeing more bullish equity bets across the market," said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at Ava Capital Markets.

In Europe, many key indexes are climbing by about 1%. Asian markets ended with solid gains, though Chinese markets were closed Thursday for a holiday.
 


2. Potential movers

 

Twitter, Google, Microsoft: Investors are keeping a close eye on Twitter (TWTR, Tech30) after Re/code reported that the company could shortly announce that Jack Dorsey, its co-founder and interim CEO, will become its permanent CEO. This announcement has been expected for weeks.

Shares in Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) are edging higher Thursday after the companies were reported to have agreed to drop various long-running lawsuits against one another.

Other tech companies are also showing some strength premarket, indicating it could be an especially good day for the tech-heavy Nasdaq index.


3. Economics

 

Get ready for a full schedule of economic releases. Weekly jobless claims data will come from the Department of Labor at 8:30 a.m. ET

Then the Institute for Supply Management will release its ISM index for September at 10 a.m. The index gauges business conditions based on surveys with top business managers that make purchasing decisions. The index levels have stayed fairly even throughout 2015.

At the same time the Census Bureau will post construction spending data for August. Spending has increased every month so far this year, indicating strong housing and building development.

And throughout the day carmakers will be reporting September vehicle sales data. Investors will be particularly keen to look at sales of Volkswagen cars since the company became embroiled in a test-cheating scandal last month.


4. Wednesday market recap

 

The Dow Jones industrial average was up 236 points, closing with a gain of 1.5% on Wednesday. The S&P 500 added 1.9% and the Nasdaq swelled by 2.3%.
