Earlier this week, China cut its annual growth target for the first time in eight years. Meanwhile, economic data from the euro zone suggests that the region is slipping into a deep recession.<\/p>\n<p>Amid all the worries, the U.S. economic data, however, has shown signs of improvement in the economy. Investors are hoping that this trend will continue when the ADP releases its jobs report for February. Economists expect ADP to report a gain of 200,000 jobs in February. The report comes ahead of the all important nonfarm payrolls, which will be released on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Investors are also focusing on the bond swap deal between Greece and private creditors. Concerns about the Greece not able to complete a deal by Thursday\u2019s deadline have eased after the country\u2019s six largest banks agreed to take part in the debt swap.<\/p>\n<p>European markets have edged higher in trading after Tuesday\u2019s sharp decline. At last check, the FTSE 100 Index in London was trading 0.3% higher, while the DAX Index in Frankfurt was trading 0.29% higher. Asian markets, meanwhile, ended mostly lower, with the Nikkei 225 Index in Japan closing 0.64% lower.<\/p>\n<p>Among the stocks expected to remain in focus in trading today include Hasbro Inc.
