This coming week
Here's the economic calendar for the full week.   The key reports that can potentially move the market are:

Thursday:   Jobless Claims
Friday:  Job reports

Earnings season is starting up.   Here are companies announcing in October.  October options expiration is 10/15. 

Wall of worry
Market is now getting more nervous about the possibility of stagflation:  inflation combined with stagnant growth.   The current rise in bond yields is actually a key indication of this.   Read more here.

The market is also nervous about the Fed's plan to taper.   As we mentioned before, in early October 20218, stocks started a major sell-off due to the Fed raising rates. This lasted until end of 2018.  During this time $SPX dropped 20%.   

There is a chance the market may continue to be in this nervous mode for a while during this October.
