This week is relatively less risk heavy in terms of data and events.
What to watch for over the coming days:
- US earnings:
Earnings season remains in focus. S&P 500 as well as stocks around the world would be much influenced by third quarter figures. Big names include Alphabet, Visa, Caterpillar, General Motors, Under Armour, Dow Chemical, ExxonMobil, and many more.
- Central banks:
Lots of central bank speakers this week. Fed’s William Dudley, James Bullard, and Charles Evans are scheduled to speak on Monday. SNB chairman Jordon is also scheduled to speak on Monday. Tuesday will hear speeches from BoE governor Mark Carney and ECB President Mario Draghi.
- US data:
Not many economic dockets this week but an important one on Friday; first flash reading of third quarter GDP.
- UK data:
Third quarter GDP data on Thursday is a must watch.
In addition to the above, unscheduled Brexit commentaries would keep weighing on the market.
