June 21, 2015 The Week Ahead

Now, the S&P 500 ended Friday’s action on a weak note. However, it was up on the week, and still very near all-time highs.

Recent attention has been on China, as the Shanghai Index sold off more than 6% this week. If a continued sell-off occurs that could have implications on global markets.

In addition, the market is still waiting on what the resolution/outcome on Greece will be.

The VIX is slightly below the 14 level; however, on Friday, we did see it nearly gain 6% and close at 13.96.

Crude Oil futures prices barely changed this week; closing right below $60 per barrel.

We’ve got a decent amount of economic numbers, earnings and conferences to pay attention to, starting on Monday.
