The government's retail sales report, the most comprehensive window into the sector will be published on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. New York time.
Producer prices come out on Friday, also at 8:30 a.m. The more closely watched consumer price report will be released on June 18
Also, the calendar on Monday moves to within a month of the next earnings season, prompting a period of rising volatility as analyst reports and trader speculation kick in.
Otherwise, the markets will be relying on the Greece vs. the Eurozone debt kerfuffle and the morass of speculation about the intentions of money policy makers at the June 16-17 Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
Even with a paucity of reports, the week is likely to hold some excitement for traders.
Leading indicators (in descending order of importance):
The interest rate spread between 10-year Treasuries and the federal funds rate, reported continually during market hours.
The M2 money supply, at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
The S&P 500 index, reported continually during market hours.
Average weekly initial jobless claims, at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
The index of consumer expectations from the Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment report, at 10 a.m. Friday.
Items of interest, arranged by day:
Monday: Earnings season begins in a month, on July 8.
Tuesday: Job openings and labor turnover at 10 a.m.
Wednesday: Petroleum inventories at 10:30 a.m. and the Treasury budget at 2 p.m.
Thursday: Jobless claims, retail sales and import and export prices, all at 8:30 a.m., business inventories at 10 a.m. and money supply at 4:30 p.m.
Friday: Producer prices at 8:30 a.m. and Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment at 10 a.m.
I also keep an eye on the Baltic Dry Index, updated daily, and the 5-year implied inflation rate based on U.S. Treasury yields, which presently stands at 1.69%.
