The Week Ahead – 8 October 2021

In this episode of our Week Ahead series, we’ll be looking at the main themes that will drive global markets over the coming week. In the US we are watching; the proposed debt limit, infrastructure talks, Powell’s possible reappointment, and US-China relations. Then we look at the recent energy crisis in Europe, German ZEW’s and HICP,  Euro industrial production for August, and BoE/ECB speakers. And finally, a quick wrap-up on the latest Covid-19 trends, events in Asia, and data releases to watch.
