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

It's a busy day for markets and investors are bracing for losses.

U.S. stock futures were sinking ahead of a wave of earnings reports. Global markets were mostly lower but China regained some poise after taking a dive earlier in the day. 

1) China recovers

It was another volatile session in China, with the Shanghai Composite erasing sharp early losses to close up 1.2%. Chinese stocks have been on a wild ride for weeks as investors grow anxious about a possible withdrawal of stock market support by Beijing, and the health of the Chinese economy.

2) Commodities ease

Uncertainty about global demand and slowing growth in China have pressured commodity prices in recent months, and copper and oil resumed their slide Wednesday.

Copper traded down nearly 2% to just above $5,000 a tonne while oil shed 0.4% to hover below $43 a barrel. 

3) Earnings and economics

Plenty of companies will open their books to investors on Wednesday. Target (TGT), Lowe's (LOW), Staples (SPLS), Hormel Foods (HRL) and American Eagle (AEO) -- along with a handful of others -- are due to report quarterly earnings ahead of the open.

Victoria's Secret owner L Brands (LB) is among the companies reporting after the close.

It's a light day for economic news, with July's consumer price index numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics at 8:30 a.m. ET. 

4) Greek bailout vote

Germany's parliament is expected to approve the latest Greek bailout Wednesday, a key hurdle to unlocking the first chunk of up to €86 billion ($95 billion) in aid for the cash-strapped country. Athens stock market added 0.3%.
