Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
Another day, another devaluation for the Chinese yuan.
But investors are not freaking out like earlier in the week.
1) All eyes on China
The Chinese currency dropped again versus the U.S. dollar, but the central bank is rushing to calm fears about the yuan's more than 3% tumble over the past three days.
The central bank said Thursday that it expects the currency to stabilize, and that circumstances no longer call for continued depreciation.
China's government has in the past tightly controlled the yuan, but now it's trying to allow market forces to play a larger role in setting the value of the currency.
2) Stock Market rebound
The yuan's recent, unexpected moves frightened traders. Many hit the "sell button." But now people have calmed down.
U.S. stock futures are pointing up Thursday. European markets are making big advances in early trading and all Asian markets closed with gains.
"Fears of [a] Chinese economic meltdown appear to have been allayed for the time being," said Augustin Eden, a research analyst at Accendo Markets.
3) Earnings
Kohl's (KSS), Dillard's (DDS), Coty (COTY) and Nestle (NSRGY) are reporting earnings before the market opens.
This afternoon, a handful of companies, including Nordstrom (JWN), will report after the market closes.
4) Stock market movers
News Corp. and Cisco: Shares in News Corp (NWS) and Cisco (CSCO, Tech30) are expected to surge by about 4% at the open on the back of well-received earnings, which came out Wednesday evening.

All major global stock markets are sinking right now and U.S. stocks are set to open with significant losses.
Brace yourself, and read this.

U.S. stock futures are all declining by about 1% and nearly every major stock market index in Europe and Asia is lower by roughly 1% to 3%.
Investors seem to be reacting to the yuan's slide against the U.S. dollar, which is creating uncertainty about global trade dynamics.

On Tuesday, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 212 points, closing 1.2% lower. The S&P 500 also dropped 1% and the Nasdaq shed 1.3%.
2) Oil at a six-year low
Crude oil futures are trading around a six-year low after posting a big drop Tuesday.
Crude settled at $43.08 per barrel on Tuesday, but the price has since recovered a bit.
The U.S. government is reporting crude oil inventories data at 10:30 a.m. ET, which could move prices again.
3) Earnings
Macy's (M) and Alibaba (BABA, Tech30) are among the companies reporting quarterly earnings before the opening bell.
Cisco (CSCO, Tech30) and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp (NWS) will report after the close.

Successful trading depends on selecting the right strategy.
1. Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc's overhaul of its operating structure is an acknowledgement of the lack of transparency surrounding its disparate businesses and projects, analysts said, but it remains to be seen how much more the company will actually disclose.
2. Gold prices rallied to a three-week high on Tuesday before paring some of those gains as investors assessed the implications of China's move to devalue its currency by the most in two decades.
3. U.S. stocks fell in early trading on Tuesday in a broad-based retreat as China's surprise devaluation of the yuan pushed the dollar higher and pressured commodity-related shares.
4. Crude oil futures tumbled on Tuesday, after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries said it pumped the most crude in more than three years last month, adding to concerns over a glut in global supplies.
5. The euro rose to one-and-a-half week highs against the dollar on Tuesday after an unexpected devaluation of the yuan by China’s central bank prompted investors to unwind euro-funded positions on the Chinese currency.
