Stocks: 6 things to know before the bell

1. Trump visits Paris: President Trump is visiting Paris on Thursday to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron.

The two leaders, who share little in terms of policies and priorities, are scheduled to hold a press conference.

The event is likely to be dominated by questions about the actions of Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr.

Trump Jr. released emails earlier this week showing he agreed to meet with someone he believed to be a “Russian government attorney” after receiving an email offering him information that would “incriminate” Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

2. Oil under pressure: There are new doubts about OPEC’s plan to eliminate a global oil glut.

A new report released Thursday by the International Energy Agency showed that the group’s compliance with an agreement to slash its output has slumped to 78% in June from 95% in May.

Crude oil futures dropped 1% to trade around $ 45 per barrel after the report was published.
