It's the last day of July and if stocks hold steady Friday, all three U.S. indexes will close out a bumpy month with gains.
So far, so good.
Here are the five things you need to know before the opening bell rings in New York:
1. Market overview: U.S. stock futures are not making any major moves ahead of the open.
The Dow Jones industrial average has added 0.7% this month. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq have both posted healthier gains of 2.2% and 2.9%, respectively.
European markets are mixed in early trading.
Most Asian markets ended with gains, except for China where the Shanghai Composite dipped by 1.1% and the Shenzhen index edged down by 0.8%. Chinese markets have stabilized a bit after crashing earlier this month. The Shanghai index lost 14% in July.
