Looking Ahead: Week of October 8 through 12

The first major release is midweek with the Beige Book. The Fed is focusing on the labor market and comments on that sector will be highlighted. The next major mover is international trade with the export component the key focus as growth has been wavering in Asia and Europe. Bond traders will pay special attention to the producer price report as headline inflation has bounced in recent months on volatile energy costs. Finally, we get a reading on consumer sentiment for early October. Various surveys recently have indicated modest improvement in the mood of the consumer.
