Here are the four things you need to know before the opening bell rings in New York:
1. China GDP: The world's second biggest economy grew by 7.5% compared with the same period last year, despite continued worries about a slowdown in real estate. It was the first time the economy has accelerated in three quarters, putting China on a somewhat better footing to reach its official growth target of 7.5% for 2014.
2. Earnings roll in: After JPMorgan (JPM) and Goldman Sachs (GS) both beat expectations with their quarterly reports Tuesday, it's Bank of America (BAC)'s turn to publish earnings before the opening bell Wednesday. PNC (PNC) will also report earnings before the bell, while eBay (EBAY, Tech30) will report after the close.

3. Stock market movers -- Intel, IBM, Apple, Yahoo: Shares of Intel (INTC, Tech30) rose by nearly 5% premarket after the company posted earnings that beat expectations and announced plans to boost its share repurchase program by $20 billion. Shares of both IBM (IBM, Tech30) and Apple (AAPL, Tech30) were also nearly 2% firmer premarket after they announced they would join forces to offer iPhones and iPads preloaded with special software developed by IBM.
Yahoo (YHOO, Tech30) was heading in the opposite direction, falling more than 2% premarket after second quarter revenue and profits missed forecasts.
