The markets cooled off this week, but are still close to all-time high levels. One thing traders will be paying attention to is earnings coming out of retailers; the upcoming federal tax plan, as well as the latest in the Brexit talks over in Europe.

Some earnings stocks worth watching for the upcoming week include: The Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Gap Stores.

The “fear index” closed at 11.29 on Friday; as we’re starting to slowly see volatility creep back into the market.
