Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:


 1) October Blues

US stock futures were looking weak Thursday after markets started the new month with a big decline. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 1.4% Wednesday, the S&P 500 fell 1.3%, and the Nasdaq was off 1.6%.

This comes after all the major indexes posted declines for the month of September.

The latest reading shows investors are feeling extremely fearful, just weeks after the major benchmark indexes were hitting record highs. Unrest around the world and slower growth is hurting sentiment.


2) Getting Ready for the ECB

Investors are keen to hear from the president of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi. He holds a news conference in Italy at 08:30am Eastern Time after the central bank's monthly meeting.

Pressure is building on the ECB to go all-in with a Federal Reserve-style program to buy government bonds as some of Europe's largest economies fall. However, most analysts do not expect any new initiatives.

The Eurozone economy has stalled and inflation is the weakest it has been for nearly five years.

The major European markets were declining in early trading.


3) NFL Fever

Shares of DirecTV (DTV) were rising in extended trading after the NFL said it was giving the satellite provider rights to continue carrying its popular NFL Sunday Ticket package for another eight years.


4) US Economic Data

The US government will post weekly jobless claims at 08:30am Eastern Time.

Here are 5 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for.


1) European markets are mixed. Manufacturing in the Eurozone has stalled, and is now contracting in Germany, the region's biggest economy, according to the latest survey of purchasing managers. The euro continued its recent slide against the dollar.


2) US stocks closed lower Tuesday, ending September in the red. The largest and most important indexes, the S&P 500, Nasdaq and the Dow dropped in what has been a very disappointing month.


 3) Markets in Hong Kong and China were closed for the National Day holiday, which saw huge crowds swarm the street of Asia's financial hub. Thousands of Hong Kong residents are taking part in another day of pro-democracy protests. Most other Asian markets ended weaker.


4) Shares in biotech companies Tekmira (TKMR) and BioCryst Pharmaceuticals (BCRX) rose premarket after the first case of Ebola was diagnosed in the US.

EBay (EBAY, Tech30) shares were giving up some of Tuesday's gains posted in the wake of its announcement that it will spin off PayPal into a separate company next year. The stock was down 1.7% premarket.

Adidas (ADDYY) was top gainer in Europe after it announced plans to buy back shares worth 1.5 billion euros.


5) At 10:00am Eastern Time, the US Census Bureau will say how much was spent on construction in August.
