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

1. Monday momentum

Most European markets are rising in early trade, with Germany's DAX pushing above 12,000 points for the first time, as the newly-launched money printing program by the European Central Bank continues to support stocks. The DAX is the world's hottest market so far this year.

U.S. stock futures are also gaining ground.

2. China boost

The Shanghai Composite gained more than 2%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose by 0.5%, as China's Premier Li Keqiang promised to press ahead with economic reforms, and reiterated that the government had plenty of options to bolster growth if necessary to hit this year's target of 7%.

Keqiang was speaking as China's closed its annual parliamentary meetings on Sunday in Beijing. He said the reforms would hurt.

"This is not nail clipping," he said. "This is like taking knife to one's own flesh."

3. Waiting for the Fed

U.S. markets have been on edge in recent days as investors have tried to figure out the timing of a rise in U.S. interest rates. The Federal Reserve starts a two-day meeting Tuesday, and markets are speculating that a critical word -- patient -- may be removed from its official policy statement. That could open the door for the Fed to raise rates in June, earlier than some hoped.

4. Economics

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo housing market index will come out at 10 a.m. ET.

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

1. Focus on the Fed

It has been an exciting week of ups and downs, but now traders are turning their attention to next week's monetary policy meeting at the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Investors are expecting the Fed to raise interest rates in the next few months as the job market improves and salaries rise. The expectations for tighter monetary policy have helped the dollar rally to new highs and caused some jitters in U.S. markets.

2. New banking fine

Germany's Commerzbank (CRZBY) has agreed to pay nearly $1.5 billion to U.S. authorities to settle a case related to sanctions and money laundering. Shares in the bank were rising by about 5% in Europe as investors expressed relief that the bank could now move on after a long investigation.

Business records indicate the banking violations occurred between 2002 and 2008.

3. Economics

The Russian central bank cut interest rates Friday, down to 14% from 15%.

The central bank hiked rates to an eye-watering 17% late last year to defend the falling currency. But since January, it's been trimming rates to try to prevent a protracted economic slump.

Back in the U.S., the University of Michigan will post its consumer sentiment index at 10 a.m. ET.

4. Weekly market recap

On Thursday, markets shot up. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 260 points, the S&P 500 surged by 1.3% and the Nasdaq rose by 0.9%. That followed a sharp fall on Tuesday.

The Dow plummeted by about 333 points on Tuesday, marking its worst drop of the year.
