Here are the 4 things you need to know before the opening bell rings in New York:

1. Even more earnings: Chevron (CVX), MasterCard (MA) and Mattel (MAT) will report earnings before the opening bell.

Chevron earnings will be a particular focus as investors look for signs of how rock-bottom crude prices are affecting the company's plans.

On Thursday, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 1.3%, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq gained 1.0%.

Russia's central bank meets to discuss interest rates. An announcement is due at 5.30 a.m. ET.
