Of far greater impact will be the 2nd quarter earnings announcement season. The six-week season traditionally begins with the report from Alcoa Inc. (AA).
The Federal Open Market Committee minutes of the June 16-17 meeting will be released Wednesday at 2 p.m., touching off a few a minutes of intense tea-leaf reading as analysts seek to discern whether Fed Chair Janet Yellen really, truly, cross-her-heart meant what she so clearly said last month about raising interest rates someday.
Speaking of, Chair Yellen gives a speech on the U.S. economic outlook to the City Club of Cleveland on Friday at 12:30 p.m.
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.
Items of interest, arranged by day:
Monday: Institute of Supply Management non-manufacturing index at 10 a.m.
Tuesday: International trade at 8:30 a.m. and job openings and labor turnover survey at 10 a.m.
Wednesday: Petroleum inventories at 10:30 a.m. and FOMC minutes at 2 p.m.
Thursday: Jobless claims at 8:30 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 1.71%.
