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.

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