US DATA PREVIEW: - Wednesday: main event of wk: Consumer Price Index (0.3% est).

- Morgan Stanley economists "expect core goods prices to rebound in October with

a 0.16% gain after dropping 0.27% in September and 0.29% in August. Along with

continued strength in core services, which we see up 0.23% in October, this

implies a 0.22% rise in overall core CPI."

- TD Securities economists "expect CPI to pickup to 2.5% on gasoline prices and

base effects. Core CPI should also rise 0.2% (2.2% y/y) on components that drove

the downside in the prior two months (apparel, used vehicles, OER). Much

attention will be given to OER, which in the prior month posted a soft 0.2%

rise. This looks like a blip given vacancy rates, and we expect both OER and

rents to rebound."

- US Federal Reserve Vice Chairman for Supervision Governor Randal Quarles will

provide semi-annual testimony (0900ET) conduct of supervision and regulation of

depository institution holding companies. Later in the evening (1700ET), Dallas

Federal Reserve Bank President Robert Kaplan and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome

Powell to discuss national and global economic issues, with audience Q&A.
