OIL, TECH, Large cap stocks, and Housing are all to be highlighted this week.
Monday. Tech is highlighted as Apple and Texas Instruments report. TXN is expected to report a loss but raised their quarterly dividend on Oct 15. This leads me to believe future guidance will be positive. Apple reports after the close and has hit yearly highs on 3 separate days this month. All the things that go into AAPL, especially iphones sales, will determine what Tech does.
Tuesday. Housing starts and reports from biggies such as Cola-Cola, Caterpillar, Dupont, and State Street. A small increase in housing starts are forecast.
Wednesday. Oil inventories and the results off the Beige book on FED minutes. Also reports from Boeing, EBAY, US Bank. Oil has a history of making highs in October. Oil broke out of its $65-$75-l trading range Wednesday.Oil supply and weaker global demand has been overshadowed by the recent focus on equities and the dollar.
Thursday.Jobless claims. Amazon reports, Burlington Northern, Merck, and McDonalds. Are we looking at a down day today?
Friday. Existing Home Sales, and more tech reports from Microsoft and Honeywell.
