Economic calendar: Stocks gain at start of a busy week

• Equities gain, US500 above 3,400 pts

Sentiment may dominate today's trading as the economic calendar is empty. There aren't any market moving events scheduled for today. However, it does not mean the whole week will be like this. Jackson Hole symposium nad Powell's speech on Thursday are unquestionably the most awaited events this week.
