This week’s calendar offers a useful check-up on both the consumer and the broader economy. It starts relatively light on Monday with Aramark reporting and the Empire State Manufacturing Index, which should give an early read on regional factory activity and business sentiment.

The focus then shifts squarely to the U.S. consumer and big-box retail. Home Depot and Medtronic headline Tuesday alongside Baidu and HP, with a full slate of data on prices, industrial production, and housing sentiment helping investors gauge how higher rates are filtering through the real economy. Midweek brings results from Lowe’s, Target, TJX, and Nvidia, paired with mortgage activity, building permits, and housing starts, offering a clearer picture of both discretionary spending and the housing backdrop.

Later in the week, Walmart, Intuit, Ross, Gap, and Veeva provide additional insight into consumer behavior and business spending trends. Friday’s PMI readings and Michigan consumer sentiment wrap the week with a broader snapshot of growth momentum and confidence.
