Which is kind of fitting, since it's the seventh birthday of this bull market.

Near 7:25 a.m. ET, Dow futures were up 91 points, S&P 500 futures were up 11 points, and Nasdaq futures were up 23 points - all by about 0.5%.

The Dow closed down 109 points on Tuesday after a quiet day as far as economic data was concerned.

MBA mortgage applications crossed this morning, and were shown to rise 0.2% last week, rebounding from a 4.8% drop in the prior week.

Wholesale Inventories numbers are due at 10 a.m. ET. We're also expecting an interest-rate decision from the Bank of Canada at that time. Then at 10:30 a.m., the Energy Information Administration will release its weekly numbers on crude-oil inventories.

Crude oil prices are also rising again like stocks. West Texas Intermediate crude futures for April delivery in New York rose nearly 2% to as high as $37.30 - still below the $38-per-barrel mark crossed earlier this week.

In company news, the Chipotle health scare is not over. A Chipotle restaurant near Boston was temporarily closed Tuesday after some workers fell sick. The company's shares were down about 2% in pre-market trading.
