Strap in and enjoy the ride this week because there's no telling what's going to happen.
The week starts with Australia's M&A market on fire, with offshore poachers and private equity keen to snap up Coca-Cola Amatil, Link Group and AMP, and a bunch of infrastructure auctions reaching a climax.
It's also a busy time for IPOs with the year's biggest — coal port owner Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure — set to take cornerstone bids, while Macquarie's high-flying Nuix ramps up its pitch.
By week's end, though, it could all look very different. No one knows how financial markets will react to the US election, while there's also an important RBA board meeting on Tuesday.
Some of the hot money has moved on from ASX-listed artificial intelligence tearaway "billion dollar" Brainchip Holdings, but brokers and the founders of similar companies certainly have not.
