Wholesale trade figures for May will be announced at 10 a.m. ET. French and Italian industrial production data will also be released in the morning.
The calendar will be active tomorrow as retailers report same-store sales and the Labor Department announces initial jobless claims. Friday brings the producer-price index and consumer sentiment.
