US earnings season gets underway in earnest this week as banks report third quarter (Q3) figures. Railroad group CSX and United Airlines will also publish their latest earnings, providing a focus as US stock markets hit new record highs. UK corporate data is also plentiful, including housebuilder Bellway, mining firm Rio Tinto and hotel operator Whitbread.
The important US inflation reading will still be released this week despite the government shutdown, but the weekly jobless claims figure is likely to be delayed.
