Today’s economic calendar is relatively light. We still don’t have government economic releases, and the U.S. government shutdown has already lasted a record-long period.
The most important items today will likely be public speeches by Fed officials. We’ll hear from Williams of the New York Fed and Fed Vice Chair Jefferson. In addition, we’ll get labor market data from Canada which, while important, will have a limited impact on global financial markets. Next, we’ll see the University of Michigan inflation expectations report.
