The economic data calendar is bare today
Investors will be rounding out mid-June with a mix of economic reports and earnings this week. Plenty of manufacturing data will be highlighted this week, as well as housing. Wednesday will bring announcements from the Federal Reserve and its Chairman, Jerome Powell. Meanwhile, though earnings season has come and gone, there will still be a handful of quarterly reports to unpack, including H & R Block (HRB), Kroger (KR), and Smith & Wesson Brands (SWBI).
Today's economic data schedule is empty. Investors still have inflation and the possibility (or impossibility) of economic recovery on their minds.
There are no public companies slated to release quarterly earnings reports today, June 14, as earnings season winds down.
In case you missed it, last week we dropped the 411 on meme stocks. We provided some background, what qualifies a stock as a meme stock, and a bunch of other frequently asked questions. So, here is everything you need to know about meme stocks. At Schaeffer's Investment Research, we see major opportunity surrounding meme stocks to be played from an options perspective. More on that, soon!
Looking ahead to tomorrow, things will get busy fast for investors with retail sales, the producer price index (PPI), Empire state manufacturing index, industrial production data, business inventories, and the NAHB home builders' index slated for release.
All economic dates listed here are tentative and subject to change.
