Market Outlook: October 20–24, 2025

Overview

The week of October 20–24 is set to be eventful and potentially volatile, with markets digesting delayed U.S. inflation data, ongoing government shutdown impacts, central bank meetings in emerging markets, and robust trade figures. Uncertainty persists around Fed and ECB policy direction, while new tariffs and shifting political dynamics continue to drive risk sentiment globally.​

Key Themes and Drivers

1. U.S. Data Releases & Shutdown Effects

  • U.S. government shutdown continues to disrupt economic data flows, but September CPI, initially delayed, is now scheduled for release on October 24. Consensus expects monthly CPI at 0.4%, with annual inflation holding at 3.1% and core at 3.1%. Retail sales (October 23) are forecast to show a modest 0.3% month-on-month rise. Industrial production is likely flat, while housing starts may rebound after August’s sharp decline.​
  • Labor data remains delayed; markets will focus on unemployment claims (October 23) and home sales (October 24).​

2. Central Bank Meetings

  • Several emerging market central banks are scheduled to meet, including the Central Bank of Ukraine, Central Bank of Türkiye, Costa Rica, Russia, and Paraguay, though major developed market central bank decisions are not scheduled this week.​
  • The RBA continues its cautious tone, reiterating a data-dependent stance in its speeches and minutes.​

3. Global Trade & Inflation

  • China’s export data showed a modest improvement, offset by weak imports, and domestic inflation remains in deflation due to business competition and weak consumer demand. These trends will likely persist, keeping commodity markets under pressure.​
  • Eurozone and Canadian inflation updates are set for October 22. Canada’s September CPI is expected steady at 1.9% YoY, with European data providing further context for ECB policy.​

4. Earnings, Policy, and Geopolitical Risks

  • U.S. Q3 earnings season picks up pace, with tech and consumer sectors in focus for outlook revisions amid weaker global growth and policy uncertainty. Consensus points to robust GDP growth and earnings-per-share increases, though risks from tariff announcements and shutdown extension remain.​
  • The political fallout from new U.S.-China tariffs, global trade negotiations, and Ukraine-Russia headlines adds to volatility risk.

Market Sentiment and Risks

  • Equities: After a drop on tariff news, tech and cyclicals may rebound if earnings and data beat expectations. Uncertainty on inflation and Fed policy limits the upside.​
  • Bonds: Yields steady as safe-haven flows persist; CPI release will drive short-term direction.
  • Currencies: USD remains the global safe haven; EMFX volatility likely around central bank meetings.
  • Commodities: Oil and metals under pressure from weak Chinese import data; gold stable on macro risk.

Bottom Line

The week of October 20–24 features delayed U.S. inflation data, key EM central bank meetings, and earnings season acceleration. Volatility remains a risk as shutdown effects, new tariffs, and global growth worries persist. Investors should stay diversified and nimble, watching for pivotal signals from CPI and earnings reports.​


Factor in Economic Events and Seasonality

  • Watch for volatility during key economic data releases and Fed meetings, especially in September.​
  • Rotate into defensive sectors if historical data signals a weak month for equities, as is common in September.
