- Earnings:
9 companies listed on the S&P 500 are slated to report results next week. Big names include HP Inc, Salesforce.com, Michael Kors, PVH, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Costco and Ulta Beauty.
- Geopolitics:
G7 meeting on Friday. The focus will be on Europe this week as Spain could face an early election after a no-confidence move by the opposition, whereas Italy could go for re-election as the president rejects finance ministers’ bid.
