Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Arguably the most disruptive econ report of the month, Friday morning’s Employment Situation report. Many other reports this week have indicated certain likely reactions to this morning’s data. Regardless, its influence could be limited to the immediate reaction, unless that reaction were to break a relevant support or resistance into the open.
