Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: The month’s first Friday usually releases the new Employment Situation report, but that’s not the case this month. This might effect the market’s circadian rhythms to some degree, like by being volatile into the open. Fed speakers are more important Friday, being more prevalent — at least four are scheduled, they’re everywhere, like cockroaches.

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

Highlights: Thursday’s calendar bucks the week’s trend by being relatively eventless. Its only high-profile report has no current track record for influencing price action.

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

Highlights: Tuesday night’s address by President Trump to a joint session of Congress will likely be discounted to a great degree before the speech. Those trial balloons and telegraphs will likely have had a greater effect on price action intraday. Wednesday’s econ calendar stays busy, both high-profile and influential to price action. The afternoon’s Beige Book will affect rate hike odds for the next FOMC policy meeting which is getting closer.

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

Highlights: The week gets busy Tuesday for econ reports. High-profile pre-open and post-open reports are only influential post-open. The Chicago PMI tends to generate a reaction among its institutional subscribers that is duplicated when released publicly. And any pre-open reaction is likely to be duplicated, too. The two afternoon Fed speakers probably won’t be very influential to price action.

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

Highlights: I don’t recall when the new week has been greeted with the Durable Goods report, which usually comes mid-week to Friday. But it will be released on Monday, and It is reliably influential and high-profile. Any reaction to it is likely to be duplicated by post-open reports.
