Despite a volatile week for stocks, futures are pointing slightly higher as investors await key economic data releases and the start of earnings season. The Federal Reserve meeting minutes and consumer price index report are major events on the calendar.

However, Lerner did caution that the looming U.S. presidential election and the potential for so-called"October surprise" could keep market volatility elevated in the coming weeks.On the economic front, key releases in the week ahead include the Federal Reserve meeting minutes on Wednesday and the consumer price index report on Thursday.
