Central bank officials are also scheduled to make comments, including Fed Vice Chairman Richard Clarida who speaks next Monday.
Stocks have been volatile. The rally on Thursday and Friday was unable to reverse the week's heavy losses. The defensive consumer staples, financials and materials were on track for a positive week among major sectors. The worst performers were consumer discretionary, off about 3.7% for the week, and tech, which was down 2.2%.
Technology shares were among the best performers in Friday's rally, up about 2.1%. Energy was the best performer, up more than 3%.
"Watch it with a certain amount of trepidation," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at National Securities. "It's not like the things that spooked us this week, like inflation, are going away...I think the fact we bounced at the end of the week is constructive." He added that he still expects the market to move forward with fits and starts.
