What to Look for This Week

Crucial inflation reports are ahead, starting with September’s Producer Price Index on Wednesday, which will give us news on wholesale inflation. Look for the Consumer Price Index on Thursday. Also of note, Tuesday brings the NFIB’s report on confidence among small business owners for last month while the latest Jobless Claims will be reported on Thursday. Investors will also be closely watching Wednesday’s 10-year Note and Thursday’s 30-year Bond auctions for the level of demand. Plus, the minutes from the Fed’s latest meeting will be released on Wednesday and these always have the potential to move the markets.
