It’s Election Day, with Americans voting in the midterm elections (all 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats and 36 governorships are on the ballot).

In US economic data, Tuesday brings us September JOLTS job openings and factory orders (which include final durable goods), and October vehicle sales.

There are no Fed speakers scheduled, although the Global Research Forum on International Macroeconomics and Finance, organized by the Fed, ECB and New York Fed, begins in Washington (through November 4), so there may very well be media interviews.

There are no non-Bill (>1yr in maturity) US Treasury auctions this week.

37 S&P 500 components report, seven of them with market caps over $100bn:

After the close: AMD ($AMD), Amgen ($AMGN), Arista Networks ($ANET), Booking Holdings ($BKNG), Block ($XYZ), AIG ($AIG), Prudential Financial ($PRU), International Flavors & Fragrances ($IFF), Super Micro Computer ($SMCI), Skyworks Solutions ($SWKS), Assurant ($AIZ), Jack Henry & Associates ($JKHY) and Mosaic ($MOS)

Brands ($YUM), Sysco ($SYY), Archer-Daniels-Midland ($ADM), Fiserv ($FISV), Expeditors International ($EXPD), Broadridge Financial ($BR), Fidelity National Information Services ($FIS), DuPont ($DD), Leidos ($LDOS), Ball ($BALL), Revvity ($RVTY), Zebra Technologies ($ZBRA), Gartner ($IT), Pinnacle West ($PNW), Henry Schein ($HSIC) and Aptiv ($APTV)

Time not announced: Bio-Techne ($TECH)

Outside the S&P 500, Shopify ($SHOP), Energy Transfer ($ET), Ferrari ($RACE), Bayer ($BAYRY) and Intesa Sanpaolo ($ISNPY) report.

Ex-US highlights include the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision (10:30pm ET Monday; Deutsche Bank expects a hold), October CPI from Switzerland, South Korea and Turkey (plus Turkey PPI), New Zealand’s Q3 labor force survey, Japan’s October monetary base and France’s September budget balance. ECB Governing Council members Kocher, Dolenc, Radev, Escriva, Moulin, Nagel and Sleijpen speak, as do the Bank of Canada’s Macklem and Rogers, and UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Healey takes oral questions in the House of Commons.

Japanese markets are closed for Culture Day.
