The financial calendar will be unusually light this week.

Campbell Soup (CPB) will be the only S&P 500 member among the 19 companies reporting. September consumer confidence and August retail sales highlight the economic schedule.

Next week will be far busier, however, with quarterly results from the major brokers, the September Fed meeting and quadruple witching.
