Introduction The financial calendars are fairly light for next week, because earnings season has ended and no IPOs are being brought to market. Retail sales and mall traffic could have a strong effect on trading early in the week, with military and other news events potentially playing a significant role later in the week. Some tax selling may also occur, while certain Nasdaq stocks will show above average volatility on speculation that they may be added to or dropped from the Nasdaq 100 {QQQ}.

Economic Releases Monday's weekly Instinet Redbook Retail Sales will get a closer than normal look on Monday, as investors try to gauge how strong retail sales were over the weekend. Perhaps even more important than the total sales, however, will be mall traffic since economists will be looking for signs that consumers are responding to promotional pricing. Two other numbers may also affect the equity markets next week, the Conference Board's consumer confidence and Q3 Gross Domestic Product. Most traders expect a weak GDP number, but a better than expected consumer confidence could help to boost retail stocks. Economic releases scheduled for next week are listed in the table below.
