Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Friday’s LEI is the morning’s only influential and high-profile report. No pre-open reports precede it that might have indicates the post-open reports’ reaction. But it is monthly expiration, and ahead of a three-day holiday weekend, so price action might be very interesting — or else it will be a very boring afternoon.

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

Highlights: No Fed speakers are scheduled for Thursday or Friday, after front-loading the week with them. But high-profile and infulential reports will be judged tghrough the prism of their outlooks. This includes mostly the Philly Fed survey, which is the only Fed survey that is reliably influential to price action — and potentially an even greater catalyst this week, being released simultaneously with two other relevant reports.

Highlights: Fed Chair Yellen’s second day of Humphrey-Hawkins testimony is at the House Wednesday. There’s often a predictable price reaction when lifting the embargo to her opening remarks, if there was a reaction during her first day’s testimony. Two other Fed speakers appear later.

Highlights: Fed speakers come out of hiding this week. Not the least of which is Fed chair Yellen, who does the Senate stage of the traditional Humphrey-Hawkins testimony. Three other Fed speakers appear the same day. And this is amid growing suspicion of rate hike potential at the March meeting.
