A fresh round of Federal Reserve appearances is due this week, including Fed Governor Jerome Powell -- who is set to deliver a keynote address on Thursday. This follows Wednesday's release of the closely watched Fed meeting minutes, where traders will be looking for clues on a possible December rate hike. Plus, third-quarter earnings season will unofficially begin with several notable names set to report, including high-profile financial firms JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) and Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE:WFC), as well as travel name Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:DAL).

Below is a brief list of some key market events scheduled for the upcoming week. All earnings dates listed below are tentative and subject to change. Please check with each company's respective website for official reporting dates.

The week starts off on a quiet note, with banks and the bond market closed on Monday, Oct. 9, in observance of Columbus Day. The stock market, however, will still be open, but there are no notable economic or earnings reports due.

On Tuesday, Oct. 10, traders will hear from Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari during regular trading hours, and Dallas Fed President Rob Kaplan after the close. Barracuda Networks (CUDA) will report earnings.

Wednesday, Oct. 11, will bring the release of the Labor Department's monthly Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) and the minutes from the September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.

Bank of the Ozarks (OZRK), BlackRock (BLK), DAL, Fastenal (FAST), and Voxx International (VOXX) are expected to release quarterly earnings.
