What's driving markets

Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to speak on the economic outlook, at 1:55 p.m. Eastern, a speech that comes after the Fed slashed interest rates by a half point just over a week ago. More key economic data is due later this week, including the ISM manufacturing index and the nonfarm payrolls report.

"Rates markets continue to forecast 75 bps of rate reductions by year end, but job creation at or above 140k in September could lead to a reassessment of this dovish expectation," said Ronald Temple, chief market strategist at Lazard.
