What to watch today

Monday comes with no major market-moving economic data or earnings announcements scheduled for release. At 3 p.m. ET, we’ll get the Fed’s July report on consumer credit balances, which is estimated to have expanded by $14 billion.

In the week ahead, the main economic highlight will be the monthly retail sales report, expected to show sales rose 0.5% in August. Investors will also keep their eye on key inflation data as well as sentiment checks on both the U.S. consumer and the small business sector. And on the earnings side, things will remain quiet with Kroger (KR) and Adobe (ADBE) the only members of the S&P 500 set to report results.
