• The stock market is closed Monday in observance of Independence Day.

• Investors will get a sense of how the job market is faring with initial and existing unemployment claims, job turnovers, the unemployment rate and the ADP’s national employment report all slated for release this week.

How employment is holding up in the wake of soaring inflation and skyrocketing gas prices will be on display this week with a bevy of employment data scheduled for release. First out of the gate is the JOLTs report for May, which tracks the number of job openings for the month. Job openings fell by nearly half a million in April, narrowing a wide gap between vacancies and job candidates. Investors will be paying close attention to see if that gap narrowed further in May

Also on tap on the jobs front is the ADP’s national employment report, which tracks hiring in the private sector and the unemployment rate for May. Also on the agenda this week is factory orders for May and jobless claims for the previous week.

He's mistaken about ADP. They've stopped issuing their reports until about September.

In a holiday-shortened trading week, data from the labor market and a readout from the Fed's latest policy meeting will be highlights.

June’s all-important jobs report will be released at 8:30 a.m. ET Friday morning, forecasts suggesting another 275,000 jobs were created last month, according to data from Bloomberg.

On Wednesday afternoon, investors will also turn their attention to the minutes from the Federal Reserve's June 14-15 meeting, after which the central bank elected to raise interest rates by 0.75%, the most since 1994.

U.S. markets will be closed on Monday for the July 4th holiday.
