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.

Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
1. Dollar takes a dip
After a storming run-up over the last year, the U.S. dollar is taking a breather.
"The dollar [is] under pressure, but that comes after what has been a relentless rise so far this month," said Simon Smith, chief economist at FxPro. "The pace of the dollar reversal suggests that more corrective activity could be in store."
The dollar has been rising as investors expect the U.S. Federal Reserve could start raising interest rates soon, while many other countries are still cutting them.
2. Stock market movers -- Shake Shack, banks, Alibaba
Shake Shack (SHAK) shares fell by as much as 7% in extended trading after the company posted a wider quarterly loss than markets expected. This was its first earnings report since the company went public in February.
Shares in Citigroup (C) are rising by about 3% premarket after the bank passed the Federal Reserve's latest stress test and announced it was hiking its dividend and buying back shares. The bank failed one of the tests last year.
Meanwhile, shares in Bank of America (BAC) are slipping by about 1% based on the latest stress test results. BofA didn't fail the tests outright, but due to some "deficiencies," the Fed said it will have to re-submit its plans.
Shares in Alibaba (BABA, Tech30) could also be on the move after sources confirmed the Chinese e-commerce giant invested $200 million in messaging app Snapchat.
3. Market overview
U.S. stock futures are edging up after enduring two consecutive days of losses. European markets are mixed in early trading. Asian markets also closed the day with mixed results.
Crude oil futures and gold prices were both inching higher.
4. Earnings and economics
Dollar General (DG) is reporting ahead of the open, along with two skiing businesses, Vail Resorts (MTN) and Peak Resorts (SKIS).
The U.S. government will post weekly jobless claims at 8:30 a.m. ET. The Census Bureau will post monthly retail sales at the same time.
