Econ Calendar

A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.

Highlights: Friday’s expiration has an unusual number of econ reports. Two are high-profile, but only Consumer Sentiment has a track record for influencing price action. The afternoon’s Fed speaker could get a reaction, too.

A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.

Highlights: Thursday’s calendar is very busy. More so, four reports are released simultaneously before the market. But only one of those has a track record for influencing price action. That reaction would have potential to repeat in reaction to the post-open reports. Before that is Bank of England and Swiss National Bank monetary policy statements.

A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.

Highlights: CPI is Wednesday’s only morning report having a track record for influencing price action. More so this month, along with Retail Sales, which could influence the afternoon’s FOMC policy statement or its credibility. Price action often becomes subdued while awaiting the FOMC policy statement. Then volatility expands considerably, and often predictably.

Highlights: Tuesday’s pre-open PPI is high-profile and has a reliable track record for influencing price action. The afternoon’s 30-year auction tends to inhibit volatility until its results, which should duplicate whatever the PPI reaction. The afternoon Fed speaker can keep things active, too.
