China to roil markets?

What should we expect to see out of China's central bank in the short term? Is the PBOC able to take the political risk to prevent a significant fall in the value of the yuan? Barry Eichengreen, an economics professor at University of California/Berkley, joined the Final Round to explain why China's central bank is in a box.

Winners and losers

Stocks that slipped into the red include real estate site Zillow, Pandora, and Activision Blizzard - the Call of Duty game maker getting hit after reporting earnings and revenue that came in below estimates.

Stocks that finished the week on a high note include JPMorgan on Jamie Dimon's big stock purchase, Groupon on earnings, and Wynn Resorts - the casino operator reporting an earnings beat, with strong results for its Las Vegas operations making up for weakness in Macau.

Looking ahead

  • The Fed-speak rolls on with Philadelphia Fed president Patrick Harker, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, and the Boston Fed's Eric Rosengren all giving speeches on Tuesday;

  • Earnings season chugs along with reports from Dean Foods, Devon Energy, and pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts.

  • Finally, we'll get a read on the housing situation with the National Association of Home Builders' February housing market index, which gauges demand for single-family homes.
