It looks like it will be a Stable Wednesday for Wall Street following a Super Tuesday for White House hopefuls.
U.S. stock futures are holding steady. European markets are posting healthy gains in early trading, while Asian markets ended in positive territory.
Here are the five things you need to know before the opening bell rings in New York:
1. Oil steadies: Crude oil futures are edging down 2% to $33.70 per barrel on Wednesday, but still remain way above the scary lows reached in February.

The latest update on U.S. crude inventories will come out at 10:30 a.m. ET.
