The US will see a first estimate of September quarter GDP tonight. Forecasts suggest 1.7% growth, down from 3.0% in June, reflecting the impact of the hurricanes.

The Fed will hold a policy meeting next week. No change is expected on rates but more information about balance sheet tapering may be forthcoming. It’s all a bit up in the air now, as Wall Street awaits the announcement of Trump’s choice for new chair.

The Bank of Japan will also meet next week, as will the Bank of England. Of the two, the BoE is an outside chance of announcing a hike.

The September quarter GDP result for the eurozone is due.

Being the first week in a new month, global manufacturing and services PMI numbers will be out across the week.

It also means jobs week for the US, with the private sector number out on Wednesday and non-farm payrolls on Friday. Other US data across the week include personal income & spending, house prices, consumer confidence, construction spending, vehicle sales, factory orders and trade.

Aside from the PMIs, Australia will see private sector credit, building approvals, the trade balance and retail sales next week.

National Bank ((NAB)) will report its earnings result on Thursday. The resource sector production reporting season has now wound down but AGM season will continue to roll on.
