Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: The monthly Employment Situation report is being released alone Friday. That’s not in the wilderness, as no other reports are competing for attention or interpretation. As to the latter, the mass of Fed speakers following through the day will likely share how the data affect their views, albeit coming after this week’s FOMC policy statement.

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

Highlights: None of the reports scheduled on Thursday’s busy calendar have a reliable track record for influencing price action, although at least Jobless Claims is high-profile. Regardless, the reaction to a pre-open report is often duplicated in reaction to post-open reports.

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

Highlights: This week is is rare for containing both an FOMC policy statement on Wednesday, and payrolls on Friday. The pre-open ADP report offers me an opportunity to gauge the market’s sentiment toward Friday’s report. And the reaction to a pre-open report is often duplicated in reaction to post-open reports — of which two are high-profile, if not also influential to price action. High-profile post-close earnings include FB.

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

Highlights: The calendar is unusually high-profile and influential for a Monday. More so, any specific reaction to the post-open PMI number has greater potential to be duplicated in reaction to the two later reports being released in tandem with each other, one of which has a reliable track record for influening price action.
