Major business and economic events scheduled for Wednesday:
PARIS — European Central Bank's governing council meets to set monetary policy for the eurozone.
HONG KONG — Asian Development Bank releases latest economic outlook on emerging Asian economies.
WASHINGTON — Payroll processor ADP reports on job growth for September. Forecast is that private employers added 180,000 jobs, in line with August's gain of 176,000. The report covers hiring only in the private sector. The ADP's figures, which often diverge from the government's more comprehensive jobs report, may end up being the only measure of September hiring for a while. The Labor Department will have to delay its September jobs report, scheduled for Friday, if the government shutdown goes past Wednesday.
Monsanto Co. reports third-quarter financial results before the market opens.
