It’s a bleak day in the Australian market so far this morning and being a Friday, the chances of the bargain hunting cavalry coming over the hill this afternoon seem limited. And there are still three more weeks of October.

Following on from another session on Wall Street tonight, Monday in the US is Columbus Day which sees the banks and bond markets closed and stock and commodities markets open, albeit skeleton-staffed.

A busy run of US data begins from Wednesday with retail sales, business inventories, the PPI, Fed Beige Book, Empire State and Philly Fed manufacturing indices, industrial production, housing market sentiment, housing starts and consumer sentiment all due through to the end of the week.

Japan is closed on Monday, and China will report inflation data on Wednesday. In the eurozone, industrial production and a flash estimate of October CPI will be closely watched.

The economic highlights for Australia next week are the NAB business and Westpac consumer confidence reports.

Next week on the corporate front marks the beginning of the busy AGM season alongside the first releases of September quarter production reports from the resource sector. AGM highlights next week include Cochlear ((COH)), Telstra ((TLS)), CSL ((CSL)) and Ansell ((ANN)) while quarterly reporters include Rio Tinto ((RIO)), Fortescue Metals ((FMG)), Woodside Petroleum ((WPL)) and Santos ((STO)).
