Asian markets closed up. Japan's Nikkei ended up 0.99%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed 0.49% higher and China's Shanghai Composite ended up 1.95%

US futures are down a little: The S&P 500 is 3.75 points lower and the Dow is 33 points lower.

It's a fairly quiet day ahead for data. ECB chief Mario Draghi is speaking to the European Parliament, which begins at 2 p.m. GMT (10 a.m. ET). Any comments from Draghi which are unexpected could have an effect on the euro, which has been very volatile against the dollar in recent weeks.
