Weekly Trading Opportunities | October 21–25

• Monday: China GDP data

China’s third-quarter GDP report will be closely watched as growth is expected to slow to 4.8% year-on-year from 5.2% in Q2.

Slowing growth in China could reduce demand and prices for commodities. A surprise upside could support commodity prices.

• Tuesday: Coca-Cola and Netflix earnings.

Earnings season continues with Coca-Cola, Netflix, and others including Tesla, IBM, and Intel.

Strong results could offset soft U.S. data and help reignite the risk-on environment.

• Wednesday: U.K. inflation data and Tesla earnings

U.K. inflation is expected to edge back toward 4%. A softer reading could boost U.K. equities and pressure the pound.

• Thursday: Intel earnings

• Friday: U.S. CPI report

With the U.S. government shutdown entering its fourth week, the CPI release remains the week’s key data point. A hotter print could lift the dollar.
