Today's macroeconomic calendar includes several interesting entries. Investors will primarily learn the preliminary PMI reports for October for European countries and the USA. Weekly U.S. jobless claims data will also be released, along with U.S. new home sales data.
The key event will, of course, be the PMI reports. Preliminary data for October will be released for France, Germany, the Eurozone, the UK, and the USA. Expectations point to persistently low manufacturing PMI readings for Eurozone countries and high readings for the services sector. In the UK, both reports are expected to show solid results above the 50-point threshold (manufacturing at 51.4; services at 52.4). U.S. PMI expectations suggest even greater divergence between sectors. The services sector is expected to reach a strong 55 points, while manufacturing is forecast to remain in contraction territory at 47.5.
