While the bulk of earnings season has passed -- with strong reactions to tech stocks Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) still fresh in traders' minds -- there's still plenty of notable names set to report. This week, for instance, retailers will be in the earnings spotlight, while Dow component Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) is also set to report. Meanwhile, although the economic calendar doesn't kick into high gear until week's end, the action will be bracketed by speeches from a handful of Federal Reserve officials.
