1. Trump's climate decision: President Trump will announce his decision on the Paris climate accord on Thursday.
Trump is expected to withdraw from the landmark agreement, two senior U.S. officials familiar with his plans told CNN.
Pulling out of the accord would trigger an exit process that could take four years.
Corporate America is making a last ditch effort to pressure Trump to stay in the agreement. Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk, for example, has told Trump he will quit as an adviser if the president bails out of the deal.
Trump will announce his decision in the White House Rose Garden at 3 p.m. ET.
2. Oil prices up: Oil prices climbed 1.3% Thursday after data from the American Petroleum Institute showed U.S. crude inventories fell last week.
Investors are keeping a close eye on U.S. production after OPEC and other major producers decided to extend their production cut agreement last week for nine additional months.
OPEC hopes the deal will help balance the market and push prices higher. However, if U.S. production continues to rise, the deal might not have the intended effect.
More data on crude inventories will be published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration at 10:30 a.m.
3. Jobs data: Investors will also get a peek at the state of the U.S. labor market on Thursday.
A report from ADP on private sector employment is expected to show that businesses created fewer than 200,000 jobs in May. Weekly unemployment claims are also due.
The main event is Friday: That's when the U.S. jobs report for May will be released.
