Wall Street is cautious heading into next week, after having seen the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (COMP:IND) slide into correction territory. The market narrative has changed in a matter of days, and concerns now abound that the Federal Reserve has slowed down the economy too much and has not eased policy soon enough. The latest nonfarm payrolls report has stoked recession worries, and investors will be paying close attention to upcoming economic data.

Monday will see measures on the U.S. services sector, where attention will be on the employment and prices components. There will also be the Fed's Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey to give the latest read on credit conditions in the economy. Finally, Thursday's update on initial jobless claims will garner attention, especially after the July jobs report.

The second quarter earnings season will ease up somewhat, though there will still be reports from hundreds of notable names, including theme park and entertainment giant Walt Disney (DIS), construction equipment behemoth Caterpillar (CAT), meat processing major Tyson Foods (TSN), ride-hailing leader Uber (UBER) and vacation rental firm Airbnb (ABNB).
