There will be no economic data releases today and markets are closed for the Independence Day holiday. Next week’s release calendar is relatively light, with wholesale trade for May on Tuesday, weekly initial jobless claims on Thursday, and the merchandise trade numbers for May and the Michigan consumer sentiment index on Friday.
