Week ahead: Brexit, IMF/World Bank annual meetings
Financial markets' attention over the coming week will be on what is being billed as a potentially make-or-break week for Brexit negotiations.
Quite important as well, in the background global policymakers will be discussing the myriad challenges that lay ahead at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank's annual meetings.
Investors will also be keeping tabs on a raft of key economic indicators that are scheduled for release in the People's Republic of China and in the US.
In the former, Tuesday will bring with it a reading on foreign trade covering the month of September, followed by reports on consumer and producer prices for that same month.
Stateside, Thursday will bring with it reports on weekly jobless claims and the Empire State and Philly Fed manufacturing sector survey results for October.
They will be followed by a preliminary reading on US consumer confidence from the University of Michigan the next day.
