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

1) Greek Drama Continues

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras reaffirmed his rejection of the terms of an international bailout, putting the country on course for a showdown with its European creditors at an emergency meeting on Wednesday.

The benchmark index in Athens was down 5%, and Greek 10-year bond yields widened sharply to 11% as investors prepared for a lengthy standoff.

Adding to the drama, former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan told the BBC that Greece's exit from the Eurozone was just a matter of time.

2) World Markets Sink

All European markets started the week lower, pulled down by fears about the clash with Greece over its debt. Asia was a more mixed picture.

3) Investors like European QE

Europe's losses came despite a new survey by Sentix research showing investors have become increasingly bullish about the Eurozone in February following the European Central Bank's decision to pump billions into the system through a QE program.

4) Stocks to Watch

Toymaker Hasbro (HAS) will report earnings before the opening bell, as will Masco Corporation (MAS).

HSBC (HSBC) came under fire in Europe following accusations that it had helped clients hide $100 billion in Swiss bank accounts. Its shares were trading 1.5% down in London Monday morning.

1) It's All About The Jobs

Hiring continues to be strong in the US The unemployment rate ticked up in January to 5.7%, but for the right reasons -- more people are looking for work as they see others getting jobs.

2) Market Overview

US stock futures are solidly higher. Major European markets are dipping in early trading.

Asian markets ended the week with mixed results. The Shanghai Composite index, which ran up by about 52% last year, dropped by nearly 2% Friday. The index has declined by about 5% since the start of 2015.

In commodities, crude futures are rising by about 3% to trade around $52 per barrel. This marks a big comeback since oil was trading below $44 in late January. Last year, oil averaged about $93 per barrel.

3) Earnings

Moody's (MCO) is among the key companies reporting earnings before the opening bell.

4) Thursday Market Recap

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 212 points yesterday. The index got a boost from rising oil prices and solid earnings.

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

1) Greek Drama Rattles Europe

The main stock market index in Greece is getting pummeled and the rest of Europe's stock markets are down after the European Central Bank said late Wednesday that it would no longer accept Greek government bonds as collateral.

"In short, the ECB has commenced cutting off Greece's cash lifelines," explained Mike O'Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading.

Greece's new government has been suggesting different ways for it to repay its massive bailout debts to its European partners, but the ECB move shows it faces an uphill battle.

Market watchers continue to warn that a Greece exit from the Eurozone is still in the cards.

2) US Premarket Moves

US stock futures are relatively steady ahead of the open. All the major US indexes took a small tumble in late dealing Wednesday in reaction to the ECB announcement.

3) Earnings and Economics

Dunkin Brands (DNKN) and Michael Kors (KORS) are among the key companies reporting results before the opening bell.

Yum! Brands (YUM) -- the company that owns KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell -- just reported results that showed the firm is still struggling in China after being slammed by a food scandal last year.

Twitter (TWTR, Tech30), LinkedIn (LNKD, Tech30), GoPro (GPRO), and News Corp (NWS) will report after the close.

The US government will post weekly jobless claims at 8:30am ET. December's trade balance will also come out at the same time.

4) Stock Market Movers -- Keurig, Fox, BT, Sony

Shares in Keurig Green Mountain (GMCR) fell in extended trading after the company said it had a weaker than expected holiday season.

Watch trading in 21st Century Fox (FOX), which could be on the move after the company reported earnings late Wednesday. The results impressed Wall Street, but CEO Rupert Murdoch delivered an apology to investors about poor ratings at Fox.

Shares in BT (BT) are jumping in London by about 5% after the company agreed to pay £12.5 billion ($19 billion) to buy mobile operator EE.

Sony's (SNE) stock soared 12% in Tokyo after the company reassured markets that last year's cyberattack would not have a significant impact on earnings.

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

1) Premarket Movers -- Disney, Chipotle, Pharma & Jam

Shares in Disney (DIS) are rising by 4% premarket after the House of Mouse reported quarterly results that easily beat Wall Street expectations.

Shares in Chipotle (CMG) are slipping in extended trading after a whopping 26% jump in quarterly sales failed to satisfy investors.

Pharmaceutical stocks are also on the move. Shares in Gilead Sciences (GILD) are dipping by 4%. The company is reported to be offering larger-than-expected discounts on its pricey Hepatitis C drug.

Pfizer's (PFE) stock is up by 2% after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval for the firm's high profile breast cancer drug, Ibrance.

Shares in J. M. Smucker Company (SJM), known for its jams and food products, are up by about 5% premarket after the company said it was buying Big Heart Pet Brands for $3.2 billion.

2) Stocks Slipping

US stock futures are edging lower after markets closed with impressive gains on Tuesday. The Dow Jones industrial average surged by 305 points, while the S&P 500 rose 1.4% and the Nasdaq gained 1.1%.

Much of Tuesday's rally was attributed to higher oil prices. A recent crash in oil prices has spooked investors over the past few months.

Crude futures are slipping back to about $51.50 per barrel, but that's still much higher than last week when oil was trading below $44.

3) Expecting Earnings

Sony (SNE) came out with a preliminary forecast, predicting net income of 89 billion yen ($755 million) for the third quarter. It said it doesn't expect its annual earnings to take a hit from a major cyberattack that crippled computer systems at its Hollywood studio.

Last month, Sony asked regulators for an extension to file third quarter earnings due to the hack. Final results will be announced March 31.

4) Greek Drama Unfolds

Greece is still top of the agenda in Europe as political leaders and policy makers try to hash out a solution to the country's debt crisis. Greece's finance minister is at the European Central Bank, which could discuss whether to extend emergency support for the country's banks.

The main Greek stock market index is falling by about 6%, after staging a strong rebound the previous day.

The new government of the heavily indebted country revealed a plan this week to restructure its debts. The nation is hoping to swap debt for growth-linked bonds, but it is far from certain that European lenders and the International Monetary Fund will agree.

European markets are mostly declining in early trading, while Asian markets mostly closed the day with gains.

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

1) Markets Cheer Greek Proposals

Most European markets are rising by over 1%, and the main indexes in Spain and Italy are up by roughly 2%.

Investors were encouraged by reports that the Greek government is adopting a more measured approach to its debt standoff with Europe.

The main Greek index is up by 9% Tuesday, nearly erasing all the heavy losses endured since the start of the year.

2) Australia Lowers Rates

The Australian central bank is cutting its key interest rate by 25 basis points to a record low of 2.25%.

The Reserve Bank of Australia said its decision is based on expectations for low growth, both in Australia and globally, and weak domestic demand.

Australia's main stock market index jumped by 1.4%.

Across the rest of Asia, markets were mixed.

3) Earnings

The New York Times (NYT) and UPS (UPS) will report earnings before the opening bell.

Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG), Aflac (AFL) and Disney (DIS) will report after the close.

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

1) New Month, New Direction?

US stock futures are edging higher ahead of February's first trading day, but the moves are modest and the mood cautious.

"February starts with a feeling of apprehension," said Angus Campbell, a senior market analyst at FxPro. When the S&P 500 tumbles in January, that's "historically considered to be a bad sign for equities, leading to a negative year for the stock market."

2) Greek Drama

Greek stock markets are bouncing back after a week of steep losses. Bank stocks are leading the rebound, but are still nursing losses of between 30% and 40% for the year so far on fears that a clash between Greece's new government and its creditors will cut them off from vital ECB support.

European markets were creeping higher in early trade, but uncertainty about Greece and weak economic data from China kept a lid on gains.

China's official manufacturing index dipped below 50 for the first time since 2012, more evidence that activity in the country's all-important factories is slowing. The slowdown raises the likelihood that China will cut interest rates again, or launch other stimulus measures.

Asian markets ended mostly weaker. The Shanghai Composite index led the way with a decline of 2.6% Monday. That was the fifth consecutive daily decline.

3) Earnings

Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Sysco (SYY) are among the main companies reporting earnings Monday. They will both report before the opening bell.

4) Economics

The US Census Bureau will report December construction spending at 10:00am ET.

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

1) Expecting Earnings

Alibaba (BABA, Tech30), Ford (F), Coach (COH) and Time Warner Cable (TWC) will report earnings before the opening bell, as well as oil companies Valero (VLO), Phillips 66 (PSXP) and ConocoPhillips (COP).

Google (GOOGL, Tech30), Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) and Visa (V) will report after the close.

US stock futures are holding steady but Thursday's direction will likely depend on how well those earnings are received.

2) Investors lovin' McDonald's News

Investors are bidding up shares in McDonald's (MCD) ahead of the open after CEO Don Thompson announced his retirement. This comes a week after McDonald's reported awful financial results.

3) Greece Markets Steady

The main stock market index in Greece stabilized, trading up by about 2% after plunging Wednesday.

The index has fallen 12% since the start of the year as investors have grown increasingly worried about Greece's financial health following the election of a new government that wants to renegotiate the terms of its international bailout.

European markets were all edging down in early trading. Asian markets mostly closed with losses.

4) Economic Announcements

The US government will report weekly jobless claims at 8:30am ET.

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

1) Big Tech Gets a Boost

Shares in Apple (AAPL, Tech30) are expected to jump at the open after the company posted the biggest profit in corporate history in the last quarter, when it sold 74.5 million iPhones.

Apple's earnings are helping ARM Holdings (ARMH, Tech30) in London, a company that sells chip designs to Apple and other smartphone makers. Shares in ARM were rising by 2% in London.

Yahoo (YHOO, Tech30) shares are also expected to soar at the open after the company said it would spin off its remaining stake in Chinese e-retailer Alibaba (BABA, Tech30). The deal is expected to save shareholders $16 billion in tax, according to Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer.

2) Greek Stocks and Bonds Plunge

Greek markets plunged again, with banks suffering the most, after the country's new anti-austerity government was reported to have canceled a planned privatization -- one condition of its international bailout. The benchmark Athens index has now fallen nearly 10% already this year.

The yield on Greece 10-year government bonds jumped 60 basis points to more than 10%.

3) More Earnings

Quarterly results are coming in thick and fast.

Boeing (BA), Hess (HES) and Fiat Chrysler (FCAM) are among the main companies reporting earnings before the opening bell.

Facebook (FB, Tech30) will report after the close.

4) Focus on the Fed

At 2:00pm ET, investors around the world will be focusing on the latest announcements from the US Federal Reserve. The Fed is concluding its two-day meeting Wednesday and investors will be parsing through the Fed's new statement to guess when the central bank may be ready to raise interest rates.

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

1) Markets Getting Snowed Under

US stock futures are all pointing down ahead of the open as traders express disappointment over some quarterly results.

Shares in Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) and Caterpillar are both declining more than 7% after releasing their latest earnings.

Microsoft reported a drop in quarterly profit, largely due to the ongoing restructuring of the company. But sales are growing for just about every product Microsoft makes, except for Windows.

2) Natural Gas Bounce

Natural gas futures are bouncing by about 3% in New York. Traders appear to be expecting a surge in heating demand because of the cold weather slamming the northeastern United States.

3) International Markets Overview

Most European markets are down in afternoon trading, with some major indexes off by more than 1%.

However, the Swiss stock exchange is up by about 1%. Swiss markets are clawing back some of the losses endured earlier this month after the central bank allowed the currency to float freely instead of being pegged to the euro.

Asian markets ended with mixed results.

4) Monday Market Recap

The Dow Jones industrial average gained a mere 6 points on Monday, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both put on about 0.3%.

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

1) Greece Votes

The left-wing Syriza party swept to victory in elections on Sunday, fueled by populist anger over years of severe austerity measures in Greece. Syriza has vowed to renegotiate the terms of the country's massive bailouts with the EU and IMF, who have lent Greece €240 billion ($277.8 billion) since 2010.

CMC Markets analyst Michael Hewson said the next few weeks are "likely to be crucial ones where one misstep could well cause Greece to leave the euro."

2) Futures Fall

US stock futures were poised for a soft start to the week. Dow and S&P 500 futures were down by 0.4%. Most major U.S. markets posted losses on Friday, with the Dow Jones industrial average slipping 0.8% and the S&P 500 down by 0.6% -- though the Nasdaq edged up 0.2%.

3) Economics & Earnings

The S&P/Case-Shiller home price index is released at 9:00am ET, and the Conference Board posts its monthly consumer confidence index at 10:00am ET. Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) will report earnings after the closing bell.

4) International Markets Overview

European markets were mixed in early trading, with France's CAC down 0.1%. Germany's DAX added 0.2% after a survey showed improved business conditions in the largest European economy. Asian markets also diverged, with Shanghai's Composite up 0.9% while Japan's Nikkei index closed down 0.3%.

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

1) Transfer of Power

Saudi Arabia is in transition following the death of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud. A successor has already been named, and oil market reaction has been muted. Most analysts expect a smooth leadership transition and a continuation of the kingdom's oil policy.

Still, investors will be looking for indications of how Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud, the new king, intends to wield power in the world's largest exporter of petroleum. The price of oil was up by about 2%.

 2) Keep Pumping

Fahad Nazer, a former political analyst at the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, D.C., said he did not anticipate any "dramatic changes in its oil policy in the short term."

"I think that given the dramatic drop in oil prices, the Saudis might be taking a closer look at their options but if a change is made, it will likely be a function of economics, not because of the change in leadership," he said.

3) Euro is Still Dropping

European markets were higher in early trading, while Asian markets ended the week on a positive note, as investors continued to cheer Thursday's news that the European Central Bank will launch a $1.3 trillion bond buying program in March. The euro continued to plunge, falling to $1.13, and yields on Eurozone government bonds dropped.

4) Earnings and Companies

General Electric (GE) and Honeywell (HON) will report earnings before the opening bell.

Li Ka-shing's Hutchison Whampoa is in talks to pay up to £10.25 billion ($15.4 billion) for mobile operator O2, a deal that would further consolidate the UK wireless industry.

Sony (SNE) said it was postponing the release of fiscal third quarter results because of the cyberattack it suffered last year.

1) European QE

The ECB is tipped to announce a huge stimulus program that could inject as much as one trillion euros ($1.2 trillion) into the Eurozone economy by the end of 2016. Quantitative easing is the last big weapon left in the ECB's arsenal and most experts say its deployment is long overdue. The euro was steady early Thursday buying $1.16.

2) Earnings & Economics

Verizon (VZ, Tech30) and Southwest Airlines (LUV) are due to report earnings before the opening bell and Starbucks (SBUX) issues its results after the close. It's a light day for economic data, just the US government's weekly jobless claims due out at 8:30am ET.

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

1) ECB Countdown

The European Central Bank is widely expected to unveil plans for massive bond purchases when it meets on Thursday. A Fed-style quantitative easing program is the last big weapon in the central bank's arsenal to boost the region's ailing economy and revitalize financial markets.

2) Gold Rallies

Anticipation of a move by the ECB is driving up gold prices. The precious metal is trading above $1,300 an ounce -- its highest level 5 months. Gold benefits from bets from money printing as the commodity is seen as a safe store of value and a hedge against inflation.

3) Earnings & Economics

American Express (AXP) and eBay (EBAY, Tech30) will post earnings after the closing bell. On the economic front, the US Census Bureau reports monthly housing starts and building permits at 8:30am ET.

4) Market Recap

US markets notched slim gains Tuesday, with the S&P 500 up 0.2% and the Nasdaq adding 0.4%. The Dow Jones industrial average was steady.

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

1) China Slowdown

The world's second largest economy is losing steam but not as sharply as feared. Official figures show China's GDP hit 7.4% in 2014 -- its slowest pace in more than two decades -- though the number wasn't as weak as analysts had expected.

2) Growth Jitters

Still, there was plenty of gloom shrouding the world economy as the International Monetary Fund cut its forecasts for global growth for this year and next. The IMF said even drastically lower oil prices will have limited impact on stimulating the economy. Oil prices continued to slide Tuesday, dropping below $48 a barrel.

3) International Markets

European markets were moving higher in early trading on growing hopes that the European Central Bank will unveil a market-boosting stimulus program later this week. Asian markets ended the session with solid gains including a 2% rise for Japan's Nikkei index. China's Shanghai Composite regained some ground after savage losses on Monday.

4) US Markets Recap

The Dow Jones industrial average snapped a five-day losing streak to gain 1.1% on Friday. The S&P 500 rose 1.3% and the Nasdaq closed 1.4% higher. Markets were closed Monday for the Martin Luther King holiday.

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

1) Swiss Stun Markets

The Swiss central bank removed its exchange rate ceiling of 1.2 Swiss francs to the euro, a cap introduced in 2011 during the Eurozone crisis to limit the flow of cash into the traditional safe-haven economy.

The franc surged against the euro, US dollar and UK pound on the news, despite a simultaneous announcement that key Swiss interest rates were being cut to minus 0.75%.

"This exceptional and temporary measure protected the Swiss economy from serious harm," the central bank said in a statement. "While the Swiss franc is still high, the overvaluation has decreased as a whole since the introduction of the minimum exchange rate. The economy was able to take advantage of this phase to adjust to the new situation."

2) Earnings and Economics

The market mood could swing again based on the latest set of earnings.

On the economic front, the US government will report weekly jobless claims at 8:30am ET. Official data on producer prices in December will also come out at the same time.

3) Bankruptcies

Failing companies may also grab attention Thursday. RadioShack (RSH) is reportedly preparing to file for bankruptcy. The filing could come during the first week of February, according to the Wall Street Journal. RadioShack declined to comment.

Meanwhile, the operating unit of Caesars Entertainment (CZR), the owner of Caesars Palace casinos, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Shares in Caesars have dropped by nearly 20% since the start of this month.

4) India Cuts Rates

The Reserve Bank of India unexpectedly cut key lending rates on Thursday in an effort to boost growth in the Asia's third-largest economy.

The central bank was not scheduled to issue a rate decision, and the move took economists and analysts by surprise. The Mumbai Sensex index shot up by 3%

The broadly positive indications from the stock market contrast with the falling price of oil. Crude futures in the US are trading around $47 per barrel, down 2%.
