Next week will feature a variety of inflation data and Fed speakers, but the big mover will be on Thursday, when the revised first-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) reading is unveiled. In addition, some notable companies will report earnings, such as blue-chip Nike (NKE), soon-to-be Dow member Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA), and homebuilding names Lennar (LEN) and KB Home (KBH).
