The Week Ahead In The Market

FYI: .The Fed is expected to cut interest rates for a third time, in the week ahead, but it will be the guidance of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell on future rate cuts that could be the most important message for markets.

.The Fed’s two-day meeting ends Wednesday and that should be a high point for the market week, but there are also about 145 companies reporting earnings, including big names like Alphabet and Apple.

.The week is also the most important of the coming month for economic data, with the big day on Friday with October e.mployment and ISM manufacturing.

.The monthly jobs number is expected to be less than 100,000 because of the impact of the GM strike, and analysts are watching to see if ISM surprises by advancing instead of contracting as expected, since that could mean upside for stocks.
