By Emma Duncan | October 01, 2026, 2:08 PM

A relatively quiet week on the economic front, the first full trading week of October will bring minutes from September's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, as well as data from the U.S. services purchasing managers' index (PMI). A small handful of names will hand over fresh earnings numbers. Reports from Applied Digital (APLD), Constellation Brands (STZ), Delta Air Lines (DAL), Levi Strauss (LEVI), and PepsiCo (PEP) are expected.

Below is the schedule of key market events for the week ahead. All economic dates are tentative and subject to change.

Monday, October 5 will bring the U.S. services PMI and ISM services data.

The U.S. trade balance is due out Tuesday, October 6.

Minutes from September's FOMC meeting will be released Wednesday, October 7, alongside consumer credit data.

Thursday, October 8 will feature weekly jobless claims and monthly wholesale trade data.

The University of Michigan's preliminary consumer sentiment survey is scheduled for Friday, October 9.
