Economic calendar: Canadian inflation and Walmart's quarterly report ahead 📌

Today's macro calendar is quite light and lacks publications that could significantly impact volatility in global markets. However, despite this, larger movements are possible during the opening of the Wall Street session after the extended weekend.

Company reports could turn out to be quite interesting. Before the session, we will learn about the quarterly results of Walmart and Home Depot. Walmart, due to its scale, can be a good indicator of the condition of the consumer in the USA. This company operates in the retail sector, employing over 2.3 million people and achieving revenues of 630 billion USD.

Financial reports:

• Walmart (WMT.US) - before the session
• Home Depot (HD.US) - before the session
• Keysight Technologies (KEYS.US) - after the session
• Diamondback Energy (FANG.US) - after the session
