The trading week will see two major trading reports, both on Friday at 8:30 a.m. New York time. They are the producer price index and retail sales.
The Federal Open Market Committee, on Wednesday at 2 p.m., will released minutes of its Sept. 21 meeting, a significant occasion because three members dissented from the decision to keep interest rates unchanged. Dissents of such magnitude are rare in a body that prides itself on collegiality and consensus.
Fed. Chair Janet Yellen addresses the Boston Fed's annual research conference on Friday at 1:30 p.m. Her subject: Macroeconomic Research After the Crisis.
