As equity markets sink lower still, Lee Wild highlights the big names publishing potentially market-moving results over the next week.
The technology sector remains firmly in focus following a week that included the largest daily decline on Wall Street since 2011, wiping out gains for the year in both the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
This week FAANG pairing Facebook and Apple headline the list of high profile earnings announcements after markets close on Tuesday and Thursday respectively. Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group is scheduled to report before markets open on Friday.
For one week only! US and Canadian traders please note, in the UK, British Summer Time ends on Sunday 28th October, however North American clocks don't "fall back" until Sunday 4th November.
