This list is in addition to the main piece of business news that dominated the week: the "stunningly weak" jobs report that has ramped up speculation that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to raise interest rates in June or perhaps for the rest of the year. Expect Fed speculation to continue into the next week in addition to political news focused on the California primary and the results there. Polls are close in the Democratic race.
