This week will be another busy one, and November is set to start with a bang. Key economic releases in the US will include the ISM indices and monthly jobs report, while markets will also await the Treasury’s quarterly refunding announcement on Wednesday.
Another two big central bank meetings are ahead, in Australia and the UK, with markets confident we’ll see rate hikes from both. Then again, the RBNZ proved almost everyone wrong last week, so nothing is guaranteed.
The political calendar is also jam-packed, with the US midterms on Tuesday then our own general election this coming Saturday. It’s expected to be a tough outing for the Republicans in the US, while here in Aotearoa it looks likely to be a close one. The global reporting season also continues, with some 140 S&P 500 companies and many others from across the world due to announce earnings. Some of the highlights are likely to include AMD, Apple, Clorox, CVS Health, Novo Nordisk, McDonald’s and Zoetis
