Key Events In The Coming Week: Little Macro, Lots Of Micro
Following China's data deluge overnight, it is a quiet start to the week with no notable data due in Europea while in the US, the sole release is the NAHB housing market index for October which as we reported earlier soared to the highest level in 10 years on "hopes" for future sales.
German PPI is the highlight of another quiet start in the morning session on Tuesday, while across the pond in the US we’ll get September housing starts and building permits data. We start in Japan on Wednesday where we are due to get September trade data, including export and import numbers.
In the UK we’ll get public sector net borrowing data, while there’s little data to note of in the US on Wednesday.
There’s more to look forward to on Thursday however. We start in France with manufacturing and business confidence readings. That’s before we get the latest September UK retail sales data, shortly followed by the ECB rate decision. Over in the US on Thursday we’ll get existing home sales, initial jobless claims, conference board leading index, Chicago Fed national activity index and finally the Kansas City Fed manufacturing activity index.
We close out the week in Japan where we’ll get the conference board leading index and flash October manufacturing PMI. In China we are due to get September property prices data. It’s flash PMI day in Europe too on Friday with the manufacturing, services and composite readings due for the Euro area, Germany and France. Over in the US, we’ll also get first wind of the flash October manufacturing PMI.
Fedspeak wise, we’ve got Lacker due to speak today (with Q&A expected), followed by Dudley and Powell on Tuesday. With data and Fedspeak fairly thin this week, as already discussed corporate earnings are set to be a big focus for markets with 25% of the S&P 500 due to report.
The notable reporters this week are IBM and Morgan Stanley today, Verizon on Tuesday, General Motors, Ebay, Coca-Cola and Boeing on Wednesday, Amazon, AT&T, Caterpillar and Microsoft on Thursday and American Airlines and Proctor & Gamble on Friday. In Europe we will see the likes of Daimler, Credit Suisse, Volvo and Iberdrola report.

All news is good news, it is like publicity, my little Algo said so!
hilarious...
now this is what u call a REAL MARKET....
The great suck is beginning and the vacuum it's creating is going to drag the whole system down. I've done what I can to prepare and now it's time to sit back and watch the show......
Don't know why they wait for this garbage. Either their buying back their shares or flat out lying or both.
Where I work, a major corporation, I can attest the quality is absolutely horrid. They have cut back on employees and are letting their infrastructure decay and customers,,, well, lets just say customers aren't an important part of the management 'team' metrics. Hell, can't even get them to change light bulbs out anymore. Have to use a flashlight to do some of my work. (I am not kidding). If not so serious it would be laughable,,, but their stock is riding high and managements bonuses just keep on a coming.
PS: I am late in age and never have I been forced to do such shoddy work due to time constraints and managements pathetic priorities. Retirement and death will not come soon enough. You millennials can have this shit.
Wake me up in (10) days when the 'freedom & democracy' flotilla arrives at the Sand Castles.
