- PMIs and US Labour data dominate start of month schedule, plenty of Fed
Speakers, US Auto Sales and Construction Spending also due

- PMIs: manufacturing sector woes well documented, rather less cyclical
and rather more structural due to auto & telecom/tech woes - nothing to
see here?

- US Labour data: GM strike expected to hit payrolls hard, making trend
extrapolation difficult
..........................................................................

********************
** EVENTS PREVIEW **
********************

A new month gets under way and features Manufacturing PMIs in much of the world (though not much of continental Europe due to the All Saint's Day holiday in a number of countries), with the overnight session having seen South Korean Trade, along with CPI from Indonesia, South Korea, Thailand & Switzerland. The US labour data is the other stand out feature and is accompanied by US Auto Sales & Construction Spending and a raft of Fed speakers.

** World - October Manufacturing PMIs **
- The Manufacturing sector remains under a cloud around the world, and as much as it would be easy to blame trade tensions, above all between US & China, for most of the headwinds; the structural headwinds for the auto and telecom/tech sectors, effectively the two largest footprint sectors both in consumption and employment terms, cannot be underestimated. A cursory look at the run of overnight reports in Asia (very mixed, China Caixin better that expected but followed weak NBS PMI reading) and forecasts for European, UK and Americas PMIs merely underscores the weak profile, but this is now more than well known, and very few would try and put some 'lipstick on the pig', even if the temptation to look for an inflection point gets ever larger.

** U.S.A. - October Labour market report **
- As forecasts make abundantly clear, there is going to be a substantial drag from the GM UAW strike, with headline Payrolls seen at 85K and Private Payrolls at just 80K, with Manufacturing Payrolls expected to fall 55K due to the strike. Per se, it will be a trickier task to extrapolate about underlying trends, even though a downside surprise will doubtless set market chatterati tongues wagging about such an outturn being a 'game changer' for the Fed, after this week's rates pause signal. Be that as it may, the other metrics are forecast to show the Unemployment Rate edging up from its 50-yr low of 3.5% to 3.6%, though it is the Underemployment Rate (last 6.9%, an 18-yr low) which may be more salient, along with an expected downtick in the Labour Force Participation Rate to 63.1% from a 6-yr high of 63.2%. Average Weekly Earnings will as ever garner plenty of attention, and are expected to recover from an unexpected flat m/m reading in September to 0.3% m/m, which was the average in the summer months. But should outliers (relative to forecasts) and revisions prove to be modest, markets will likely revert their attention to US/China Trade and the impeachment inquiry.
