In Europe, finance ministers from the 17 countries that use the euro are meeting later with a $171.48 billion bailout for Greece at the top of the agenda. Germany's DAX is down .04 percent. The CAC-40 in France is 0.3 percent lower and London's FTSE is edging up 0.47 percent.

Asian markets were mixed after China said data for January and February showed growth slowing.
