Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
1) German Stocks Rebound
The benchmark DAX index broke back above 10,000 points, a level last seen in July, on growing expectations that the European Central Bank will buy a broader range of assets to get the eurozone economy moving again.
"Additional asset purchases by the European Central Bank in the near future are much more likely," said Christian Schulz at Berenberg. "The question is no longer if, but when and what?"
The ECB is expected to cut its forecasts for growth and inflation on Thursday. But economists are split over whether it will act this week to bolster its stimulus efforts, or wait until early next year.
All other major European markets were moving higher too.
2) Futures Edge Higher
US stock futures were firmer, pointing to a positive start after markets ended down Monday. The Dow lost nearly 52 points, the S&P 500 slipped 0.7%, and the Nasdaq closed 1.3% lower.
The US Census Bureau will report construction spending at 10:00am ET. Restaurant chain Bob Evans (BOBE) will report quarterly earnings after the closing bell.
3) Oil Resumes Slide
After a rebound Monday, world oil prices are falling again in early trade. US crude futures are down 1%.
4) India Holds Fire
The Reserve Bank of India kept interest rates unchanged, surprising some observers who were expecting a rate cut after growth slowed in the most recent quarter.
India's benchmark Sensex index slipped lower, against a trend of firmer markets elsewhere in Asia.
