In Dow Jones news today (Thursday, April 13), the index projected a six-point gain as markets prepared for a busy day of bank earnings and updates on current geopolitical issues.

On Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 59 points after President Trump took aim at the strength of the U.S. dollar and geopolitical uncertainty continued to rattle investor confidence. His comments fueled a flight to safe-haven assets like gold and the Japanese yen. The CBOE Volatility Index - widely considered the markets' fear gauge - jumped over 6%.

Let's look at the numbers from Wednesday for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq:

Dow Jones: 20,591.86; -59.44;Ā -0.29%

S&P 500: 2,344.93; -8.85;Ā -0.38%

Nasdaq: 5,836.16; -30.61;Ā -0.52%

What's Ahead for the Dow Jones Industrial Average Today

  • Crude oil pricesĀ were flat after the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that U.S. inventory levels remain stubbornly high. The weekly inventory report from the EIA indicated that domestic crude stocks increased by 276,000 barrels at Cushing, Okla., the nation's largest delivery point. TheĀ WTI crude oil price todayĀ was off 0.1% while Brent crude gained 0.1%.
  • Money Morning Global Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors just forecast that WTI crude oil pricesĀ will climb to the low $60 per barrel range in 2017 and sees Brent oil prices per barrel in the mid $60s next year. Higher crude prices will create a wealth of opportunities for investors in the months ahead. Check out the latest ways to make money, right here.
  • But the big story today concerns one question. With so many geopolitical concerns happening all at the same time, it's time to ask: Is theĀ next stock market crash on the horizon? That's why we want our readers to be prepared if there is aĀ crash in April. Here are the factors that you must know about, plus ourĀ 2017 Stock Market Crash Protection Plan.

Stocks to Watch Today, April 13, 2017

  • Shares of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) is set to report quarterly earnings on Thursday. The nation's largest U.S. bank by assets is one of three financial institutions that will report earnings today. Investors are anticipating today's round of reports to get a better sense of how higher interest rates have impacted the profitability of U.S. banks.
  • Another bank reporting earnings today is Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC). The company has been plagued by a sales scandal that has tarnished its reputation and forced it to claw back $75 million in bonus pay from its former CEO and the executive who led its community banking practice. Analysts expect the company will report a slight decline in quarterly earnings.
  • United Continental Holdings Inc. (NYSE: UAL) continues to be dogged by bad public relations after a passenger was forcefully dragged out of a plane traveling from Chicago. Lawyers for the passenger have filed a legal request in Illinois that will force the airline to preserve any video footage and documentation from the incident. Shares have been falling after numerous calls for a boycott and negative publicity began over the weekend.
  • Tesla Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA) is generating headlines after the company announced plans to add two new independent board members to its board.
