1:30 pm BST - US, retail sales for September. Retail sales report is the key US release scheduled for this week. US retail sales increased each month since February hinting at strength of the US consumer. Market does not expect change to this trend with headline retail sales reading forecasted to show a 0.3% MoM increase.

1:30 pm BST - Canada, CPI inflation for September. Canadian dollar regained some ground recently and will get another chance to move today with the CPI inflation scheduled for release. Market consensus sees headline gauge accelerating from 1.9% YoY in August to 2.1% YoY in September. When it comes to the Canadian dollar, traders should also keep in mind that federal elections will be held in Canada on October 21.

Crude oil inventories data will be released with a 1-day lag this week as most of the US business and federal agencies were shut on Monday for the Columbus Day.
