Friday's Headlines: Quiet Monday

Quiet Monday?

Originally, the results of the government's stress tests were scheduled to be released on Monday, but now that they've been delayed until Thursday afternoon, the week might be off to a relatively quiet start.

There will still be a handful of earnings reports and economic data to sort through. Sprint Nextel (S), Entergy (ETR) and Tyson Foods (TSN) are among the few companies set to report quarterly results ahead of Monday's opening bell.

Several more companies will report after the end of trading Monday, including NetSuite (N), McKesson (MCK) and HealthSouth (HLS).

However, none of these stock names have the same cachet as an Apple (AAPL) or Google (GOOG) or AT&T (T) or Wal-Mart (WMT).

Meanwhile, traders will only have to contend with two economic releases during Monday's session, both due at 10 a.m. EDT. The March read on construction spending is expected to decline to 1.4% from 0.9% in February. Additionally, pending home sales data for March should come in unchanged after a 2.1% increase in February.

In terms of conferences and events, Research in Motion (RIMM) is set to hold its Capital Markets Day at 9 a.m. EDT, and both Sears Holdings (SHLD) and Motorola (MOT) will be holding their annual shareholder meetings.

Of course, we'll have to monitor all of the other major news items on Monday and throughout the rest of the week: Chrysler's bankruptcy proceedings, the health of General Motors (GM), whether banks have enough capital on hand to satisfy the government, and whether my hometown Red Sox can continue their early-season domination of the Yankees.
