MONDAY: The June manufacturing index from the Institute for Supply Management and May construction spending from the Commerce Department.
TUESDAY: Earnings from Atkins nutritional foods maker Simply Good Foods.
WEDNESDAY: Private-sector jobs added in June as estimated by payroll processor ADP. Also, May factory orders from the Commerce Department and jobless benefits claims for the week ended June 29 from the Labor Department. And the Institute for Supply Management’s June services-sector report, an update on a range of nonmanufacturing businesses such as restaurants and retail. Earnings: motor sports promoter International Speedway.
