In terms of data, this week is relatively less risk heavy but post-Brexit fallouts can always compensate for that.
What to watch for over the coming days:

Once again the earnings will keep dominating the movement in S&P500 and will act as a key ingredient in the market in defining the risks. More than 90 companies listed on the S&P 500 are scheduled to report results this week, which include some of the big names like Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, Yahoo, Netflix, Microsoft, Halliburton, Intel, Qualcomm, Schlumberger, Chipotle, and Starbucks.
- US Presidential Election -
Much anticipated Republican Party’s convention is beginning this week, on Monday. Political analysts are likely to keep a close eye on this three-day event to see whether Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump secures the united party backing or not.
