The president of the European Central Bank is expected to unveil a massive bond buying program to kickstart the region's ailing economy later Thursday.
Here are the 5 things you need to know before the opening bell rings in New York:
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. Futures climb: Expectations of QE were buoying U.S. stock futures. Dow and S&P 500 futures rose 0.3%, pointing to a firm start to the session.
3. 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 U.S. government's weekly jobless claims due out at 8:30 a.m. ET.

Shares of eBay (EBAY, Tech30) climbed nearly 3% in extended trading after the company reported a jump in quarterly profit and said it would cut 2,400 jobs.
