Whitbread, St James's Place, Bellway and Rentokil are among companies set to report in London next week, as US third-quarter earnings season also gets into full flow.
A quiet Monday will be followed by Bellway's update on Tuesday after rival Vistry hit housing market sentiment earlier in October with a warning over profits for the coming years.
Whitbread then features on Wednesday as tough market conditions threaten the Premier Inn owner.
Thursday will see AJ Bell reporting alongside St James's Place and Rentokil, with the latter's update coming hot on the heels of a profit warning.
In the US, several Wall Street banks are in line to report over the week, including Netflix, Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ).
Macroeconomic headlines are set to be dominated by UK inflation and unemployment figures in the meantime, while the European Central Bank is also due to make its latest interest rate decision.
