Equities data reflect price changes, not total return. Last Week’s Headlines
Eye on the Week AheadIn light of last week, fresh earnings reports are likely to generate even more interest than usual, while the first estimate of third-quarter economic growth will doubtless fuel more political rhetoric on both sides about the state of the economy. Also, the Federal Open Market Committee will hold its last meeting before the election. Key dates and data releases: new home sales, FOMC announcement (10/24); durable goods orders (10/25); initial estimate of Q4 gross domestic product (10/26).
