Last week was the last week of the second quarter and the S&P 500 ($SPX) (SPY) ended basically flat on the week. The first half of the year is a different story though, the SPY is up over 14%.
This week we have a lot of things to keep an eye on. Earnings season is starting back up, there is a Holiday in the US on Thursday, and finally, there are several pieces of high-profile news to watch out for. Earnings most likely will not be a large factor this week given the lower profile names reporting.
