What to Watch - Week of 20 October

It will be quiet locally on the data docket this week ahead of Q3 CPI next week, though there is some focus on politics ahead of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s meeting with US President Donald Trump Monday. Globally, China is in the spotlight with Q3 GDP and September monthly activity data on Monday and the Fourth Plenum running through Thursday. Here’s what to watch in the week ahead.
