Below is a list of key market events scheduled for the upcoming week. All economic dates listed below are tentative and subject to change.

The New York Federal Reserve three-year inflation expectations are due out on Monday, Aug. 8.

Productivity and unit labor costs data is due out on Tuesday, Aug. 9, in addition to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) small-business index for July.
