One important event is Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's testimony on Tuesday, October 4, to the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee. Last time the Chairman was in the limelight, we learned a few interesting thoughts on further monetary policy changes. In the earnings space there are no major reports, but earnings season will begin to kick into higher gear in coming weeks as investors continue to hope there are no downside surprises in store.
