Earnings season is starting to wind down, with a much lighter calendar this week than last.  The retail sector will be in focus with many of the large department stores reporting, as well as the sector behemoth, WMT.

On the macro front, retail sales data on Wednesday is the main release in the U.S.  Traders might pay more than usual attention to the PPI data on Friday given the FOMC’s increasing focus on inflation as the employment situation improves.

Outside of the U.S., German and European GDP data will be released on Thursday.  Japanese GDP data will be released on Tuesday night.  Retail sales and industrial production data will be released in China overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday.
