Econ Calendar
Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Fri Oct 19, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Friday is the 31st anniversary of 1987’s “Black Monday” crash. The Friday prior to Monday was a record-setting decline, itself (that’s how my “Friday Factors” were born). The one scheduled econ report isn’t high-profile, so noon’s Fed speaker may get unusual attention.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Oct 18, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Thursday’s Fed survey is the only Fed survey with a reliable track record for influencing price action. And any noticeable price action is likely to be duplicated in reaction to the high-profile post-open LEI. In between is a high-profile Fed speaker who might add to the price influence.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Wed Oct 17, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Canada legalizes recreational cannabis on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the FOMC Minutes release is likely to be more influential to price action than usual since rate hikes are attributed as one cause to the recent stock market plunge.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Tue Oct 16, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: The delay in JOLTS is interesting, as it usually comes the week following Employment Situation report. Confirming or contradicting the payrolls miss could duplicate or retrace the original reaction. Tuesday’s other reports are neither influential nor high-profile. High-profile quarterly earnings continue, including IBM and MS.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Mon Oct 15, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Neither of Monday’s two pre-open reports is reliable for influencing price action. But they’re both high-profile, so a surprise would have an impact.
