Shortened holiday week dominated by debt ceiling debate

Memorial Day weekend has finally arrived, and the 7.2% gain in the S&P 500 (SPX) since the start of the year bodes well for the scholarship in 2023. Yet as the United States nears a potential debt default — and with no deal in sight among lawmakers — all eyes are on Washington DC during the holiday-shortened week. Each day closer to June 1 injects more anxiety into the stock market.

The Revenue Registry still has a few laggards, including c3.AI (IA), GameStop (GME), Nordström (JWN)And Macy’s (M). Beyond that, the unemployment numbers at the end of the week could add even more volatility to Wall Street.

Below is a list of key market events scheduled for the coming week. All economic dates listed below are tentative and subject to change.

The stock exchange is closed Monday, May 29 on the occasion of Memorial Day. Go buy a coffee for a veteran!
