Time now for to watch next week. We’re to start off on the earnings front. Got a lot of big names reporting next week, including Cisco, CoreLogic and Walmart.

And on the producer front, the producer price index, also coming out next week. That’s on Thursday. Economists also anticipating both those numbers to increase to 0.3% in April after last month’s decline. New inflation data coming after the Fed held interest rates steady earlier this week with Fed chair Jerome Powell saying that the risk of higher inflation have risen.
