Tuesday preview: Vodafone, CoreWeave results due; Chinese trade figures in focus

(Sharecast News) - On Tuesday, investors will eye first-half results from Vodafone, Oxford Instruments and DCC Energy, and trading updates from Watches of Switzerland and Princes Group. Full-year results from Avon Technologies will also be in focus, while in the US, quarterly results from CoreWeave will be released.

Richard Hunter, head of markets at Interactive Investor, said CoreWeave's earnings will be closely monitored as a test of investor caution after the share price slumped 33% in the year so far.

Elsewhere, BRC like-for-like retail sales figures for October will be in focus, along with Chinese trade figures for October and the US consumer price index for October. Danske Bank said it expects the Chinese trade data to show "continued robust exports as well as strong import growth driven by chips imports and the rising prices in memory chips".
