Stocks rise slightly ahead of key inflation data this week and the start of Q2 earnings season: Live updates

This week's inflation data follows a rate hike skip at the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting. The consumer price index report is due out Wednesday, followed by the producer price index — a measure of wholesale price pressures — due Thursday.

Wall Street is coming off a losing week. The S&P 500 pulled back 1.16%, while the Nasdaq Composite and Dow fell 0.92% and 1.96%, respectively. Despite nonfarm payrolls growing less than expected in June, slightly stronger-than-expected wage growth raised concern over the potential for more Federal Reserve rate hikes.

Investors also have a slew of quarterly earnings reports to consider this week. Finance behemoths BlackRock, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup will all report and kick off the second-quarter earnings season. "We believe S&P 500 earnings will face significant pressure during the rest of the year and enter an earnings recession," Morgan Stanley analyst Edward Stanley wrote in a Sunday note to investors. "The reason is negative operating leverage — when cost growth exceeds sales growth, earnings growth takes a steep hit."
