While July 2026 retail sales have fallen, Kevin Hincks notes that the metrics are still up overall year-over-year. Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT), Home Depot (HD) and related earnings next week are what he sees serving as important catalysts for the retail space. Kevin turns to other macro movers as he says the U.S. is starting to play the "long game" with Iran by strangling its economy as headlines clash around the Strait of Hormuz. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
