October Kicks Off With a Lot on the Line

Carnival, Constellation Brands, and Levi Strauss will report earnings next week

A new month and quarter kick off next week, featuring plenty of data and events that could move the needle on Wall Street. Investors are tracking the political wire, where the first government shutdown since 2013 could be a catalyst for volatility next week if Congress cannot agree on a spending bill. The ongoing United Auto Workers (UAW) strike is another event to watch that could inject some choppiness into the stock market. 

Earnings reports from Cal-Maine Foods (CALM), Carnival (CCL), Conagra (CAG), Constellation Brands (STZ), McCormick (MKC), and Levi Strauss (LEVI) will be highlighting the earnings docket.
