The Dow Jones today is falling after President Donald Trump threatens to undo NAFTA, the trade agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Dow futures are down 23 points this morning while major banks are reporting third-quarter earnings today. But earnings reports aren't the only focus for banks today, check out how North Korea's new weapon targets the financial sector...

Here are the numbers from Wednesday for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq:

Index Previous Close Point Change Percentage Change
Dow Jones 22,872.89 42.21 0.18%
S&P 500 2,555.24 4.60 0.18%
Nasdaq 6,603.55 16.3 0.25%

Now here's a closer look at today's most important market events and stocks, plus Thursday's economic calendar.

The Five Top Stock Market Stories for Thursday

  • dow jones todayThe North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) could be on the ropes. Today, leaders of the United States, Mexico, and Canada will sit down for their fourth round of deliberations on the North American deal. Yesterday, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pushed President Trump on the importance of free trade in a meeting in Washington. However, Trump remains convinced that the agreement is hurting American workers and has said that he would be fine if the deal was terminated. So far, Mexico has responded with threats to purchase less corn from U.S. producers, a trend that would significantly hurt the American agricultural sector.

  • JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon has a message to the markets. He isn't going to talk about Bitcoin any longer. "I wouldn't put this high on the category of important things in the world, but I'm not going to talk about Bitcoin anymore," Dimon said during his company's third-quarter earnings call. The CEO has made waves in the cryptocurrency industry after he called Bitcoin a "fraud" and predicted that it would end "worse than tulip bulbs."
  • The markets will continue to digest minutes released yesterday by the U.S. Federal Reserve from its September policy meeting. In those minutes, the central bank hinted that it will raise interest rates one more time in 2017. However, they did note that inflation remains stubbornly low. Keep an eye out for several key speeches by Fed members this week who will make their views known on both the timing of the next interest rate hike and plans to begin the unwinding of the bank's massive balance sheet.
  • The price of Bitcoin surged above $5,200 this morning. The rally comes despite news that Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for more regulations in the cryptocurrency industry to prevent money laundering. But there's plenty of reasons to be bullish on the currency. Former fund manager and Goldman Sachs alumĀ Michael Novogratz predicted that Bitcoin would hit $10,000 per coin in 10 months or less. Here's more on why Bitcoin continues to rise.
