Tuesday remains in focus due to the release of the July retail sales report, which should provide a more detailed outlook on the U.S. retail market at large.

Stocks on the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.6% for the week, with both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite Index incurring weekly losses.
