Next week brings the start of the third-quarter earnings season for US companies, with Wall Street banks JPMorgan and BlackRock among those in line to report.
First, though, London is set to see a quieter week on the companies front, with Hays and pub group Marston's among the big names updating.
A quiet Monday is set to be followed up by Unite Group's report on Tuesday, as PepsiCo also updates from across the Atlantic.
Marston's then features alongside CMC Markets on Wednesday, before Thursday sees Volution take centre stage on another quiet day.
Hays will then close out the week for companies in London, before several Wall Street banks kick off third-quarter earnings season in the US.
