The S&P 500 ($SPX) (SPY) made for some wild trading last week with huge intraday fluctuations. Mixed news and poor bond auctions were partially to blame, but even through all the volatility, it ended the week just about flat.
This week still has earnings on deck, but there are not many names reporting that are capable of moving the market as a whole. We do have some big releases on deck with PPI, CPI, and Retail Sales.
