JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) are all reporting quarterly results ahead of the open.

2. More M&A?
Nokia (NOK) confirmed Tuesday it is in "advanced discussions" to buy Alcatel-Lucent (ALU). Both firms provide equipment, infrastructure and support to the telecommunications industry.
Shares in Nokia were declining by 7% in Europe, while shares in Alcatel-Lucent were surging by about 12%.
3. Stock market overview
U.S. stock futures are looking steady ahead of the open. European markets are mixed in early trading.
Asian markets ended the day with mixed results. In Hong Kong, the main index closed with a loss of 1.6% Tuesday after staging an awe-inspiring rally over the last few days. The Hang Seng has risen by about 17% since the start of the year.
Recapping Monday's performance, both the Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 fell back by 0.5%. The Nasdaq slid 0.2%.

During the Asian session, stocks in Hong Kong dropped for the first time in 8 trading days. We should remember that the HSI previously finished at its highest level since December 2007 and exceeded the psychological level of 28,000. Today the price returned down and erased 1.62%. This can be attributed to profit taking. On the other hand, the Shanghai index continued to climb and added 0.34%. This was supported by higher Chinese New Loans data. If we look at the Australian market, we can see how negative data for copper and iron hurt the stock market.
During the European session we should watch for a possible price correction on the EUR/USD as the price slightly climbed yesterday but with no fundamental causes. European Industrial Production, which is another way how to measure economic output, grew at a higher rate than estimated. However, the recent ongoing crisis over Greek debt pushed the single currency down.
During the U.S. session, we should pay attention to the U.S. Retail Sales data which is expected to be the strongest in one year. In addition, the earnings report period has started and today we watch Johnson&Johnson, Intel, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase. If figures are strong, these stocks should rally.

The recent lower-than-expected release of Chinese import and export data had a negative impact on the country’s economy, as both results dwindled, raising concerns about the Chinese economy. The Asian session was not fruitful for the Japanese stocks as well, starting with stocks such as Panasonic Corp., which dropped during the last session. In addition, the Asian session was also negative for the Japanese Nikkei which despite it being close to a record level of 20,000, dropped by 0.01%.
The dollar is still supported by the expectations of an earlier-than-expected increase of the interest rates, shaking off the latest drop caused by the Nonfarm Payrolls negative release at the beginning of the current month. The dollar also gained ground against multiple currencies, such as the euro and the yen. Indices such as the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq are at record levels, yet they are still prone to dropping should the effect of the recent expectations for the interest rate reach the stock market.
After the closure of the markets during Easter at the beginning of last week, the euro, in addition to the British pound, were both lower against the U.S. dollar this week. In addition, multiple releases were negative from the Eurozone, including the Services PMI which dropped to 54.2, the German Trade Balance which dropped to 19.7 billion, and the Retail Sales data which were released as expected. The bearish sentiment that was seen last week remains unchanged and still lingers during this week, as the European currencies remain weaker against the dollar.

Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
1. Potential market movers -- Starbucks, Zynga, Alcoa
There are a handful of companies that look set to shake things up when the markets open.
Starbucks (SBUX) shares are perky and caffeinated, up about 3% after the company completed a two-for-one stock split overnight. Starbucks common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis this morning.
Shares in Zynga (ZNGA) could drop sharply after the company announced its founder Mark Pincus has returned to his role of CEO, taking the reins from Don Mattrick. Shares are down 10% in extended trading.
Alcoa (AA) shares are also down about 3% after the company released its latest quarterly results.
"Earnings beat analysts' expectations but sales, on the other hand, were slightly worse," explained Erica Blomgren, chief strategist at Swedish bank SEB.
2. Holy Hang Seng
Traders in Hong Kong are watching in awe after the main stock market index -- the Hang Seng -- shot up by 6.6% over the past two days.
Analysts say investors are turning to Hong Kong after a dramatic 22% surge this year by the Shanghai Composite has made that market too expensive.
3. Volatile oil
Crude futures keep bouncing around, with oil now up about 2% to trade at $51.50 per barrel.
"Crude prices remain in focus today following yesterday's plunge," said Tom Beevers, CEO at StockViews. "With weekly inventories at the highest level since records began in 1982, traders are monitoring the situation closely and will be expecting more volatility to come."
4. Stock market overview
U.S. stock futures are dipping lower, European markets are all edging up in early trading, while Asian markets were mixed.
Investors in Europe are feeling confident that Greece has scraped enough money together to make a big debt repayment Thursday, allowing it to avoid default.
