Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell heads to Capitol Hill this week for two days of testimony, a couple of weeks after the Fed hit pause on interest rates. In between his appearances, the latest U.S. consumer-inflation report is due-always crucial data for the central bank.

Meanwhile earnings season continues, with big consumer-goods, retail, healthcare and technology companies slated to report.
