The Week Ahead...

As noted previously, we are going to make a conscious effort to post Reuters' preview of the events anticipated to impact trading for the coming week. In what is being touted 'Stocks' week of reckoning' by the wire service, trading is expected to be particularly volatile as US mid-term elections and a two day Fed meeting take center stage in the minds of traders both there and around the globe. There are also a number of earnings numbers being reported, which could exacerbate the impact of any surprises from the polls or the Fed. Further details can be found here.
