US: Retailers, health care
There still are 60 S&P companies left to report earnings, but markets will kick off against a backdrop of weaker jobs and mixed data. Major retail names will release results, and there’s also key legislation from Capitol Hill.
Europe: Barclays, Vodafone, A-B InBev
As telecom operators report results, Spain will be one of the main markets investors focus on. Barclays and A-B InBev also will report third-quarter results.
Asia: Economic data front and center
Chinese economic data will be front and center in Asia. Beijing will report inflation and trade data, among other indicators. The Bank of Korea will hold a meeting on interest rates and is expected to hold rates unchanged.
