Economic calendar: delayed PCE report is today’s key release 🔎

Today’s macroeconomic calendar is relatively light. The only report of global importance is the delayed PCE report for September. However, the fact that it reflects September data further reduces its significance, and market reaction is weaker than it would be to a fresh release.

In addition, we will also receive the preliminary University of Michigan report for December, as well as labor-market data from Canada — unemployment rate and employment change.
