South Korea’s stock market is set to reopen during Sept. 28–Oct. 2 after the Chuseok holiday, with investors facing a dense U.S. earnings and economic calendar. Micron Technology’s fiscal fourth-quarter results on Wednesday will test demand for memory chips, a major bottleneck in the artificial-intelligence build-out. Friday’s employment report is expected to show 100,000 jobs added in September, after August payroll growth of 162,000 far exceeded the 53,000 estimate.

Nike earnings, consumer confidence, and labor-market data will provide additional tests for markets.
