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

Highlights: Thursday’s calendar is busy, the week’s busiest. But only one econ report has a reliable track record of influencing price action. Any noticeable reaction to the pre-open reports or the Fed speaker is likely to be duplicated by the post-open reports.

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

Highlights: Wednesday afternoon’s FOMC Minutes often inhibits price action before its release. Lately, it hasn’t had much effect in reaction to its release. But affirming or contradicting last week’s Yellen testimony could be impactful.
