The Week Ahead
Last Update: 10-Aug-07 09:49 ET
It's anyone's guess as to how the market will behave in the coming week. The only thing that seems like a foregone conclusion, based on recent action, is that we'll see continued volatility.
Given that the Fed is still siding with inflation risk as its predominant concern, look for the PPI and CPI reports on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, to create some trading excitement.
Several retailers, including Wal-Mart (WMT), will also be reporting earnings. They carry market-moving potential based on what they will be saying regarding the outlook for consumer spending.
It is the unknown, however, that has been the biggest market driver of late. That could prove true again with headlines surrounding the credit market - either good or bad - dictating the action.
