On Sunday summer time begins in relevant Australian states. From Tuesday morning the NYSE will close at 7am Sydney time.

Monday is a public holiday in NSW, the ACT, Queensland and South Australia. The ASX is open but there will be little in the way of any broker research. FNArena will publish the Monday Report as usual.

Next week is Golden Week in China. Markets will be closed all week.

Ahead of the holiday, Caixin will publish its September manufacturing PMI today and Beijing will publish the official manufacturing and service sector PMIs tomorrow.

For other markets, Monday is manufacturing PMI day, and Wednesday service sector PMI day.

The first week of the month is jobs week in the US. The ADP private sector number is due on Wednesday and non-farm payrolls on Friday. Other US data releases during the week include construction spending, vehicle and chain store sales, factory orders and trade.

A busy data week in Australia sees the manufacturing, services and construction PMIs, ANZ job ads, building approvals, retail sales and the trade balance. On Tuesday, Philip Lowe will release his first monetary policy statement as RBA governor and not wish to upset the status quo.

The number of stocks going ex-div is now beginning to dwindle while next week Bank of Queensland ((BOQ)) will deliver its earnings report and BHP Billiton ((BHP)) will hold investor briefings.
