Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Friday’s two high-profile and reliably influential reports are staggered, so any obvious reaction to the first is likely to be duplicated by the second. More so, the first of the two high-profile reports releases numbers privately to its institutional subscribers prior to its public release, and any obvious reaction to the private release tends to repeat or extend when released publicly.

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

Highlights: The most reliably influential item on Thursday’s econ calendar isn’t an econ report, but the mid-morning Fed speaker. This, despite the pre-open items being high-profile, and the day’s calendar being busy.

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

Highlights: Wednesday’s calendar is busy. Only one item is both high-profile and reliable for influencing price action, the pre-open Durable Goods report. Any noticeable reaction to it is likely to be duplicated by post-open reports. Also, the noon hour’s normally slower environment might be easily agitated by the Fed speaker scheduled then.

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

Highlights: Tuesday’s calendar is busy, but only one post-open item has a reliable track record for influencing price action. It’s likely to duplicate any noticeable reaction to either of the two pre-open reports. Two afternoon Fed speakers could spur volatility, too.

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

Highlights: Several Housing sector reports all week are followed the next week by one more, which is an opportunity either to be an outlier or to confirm an outlier. The reports are otherwise high-profile, but have no reliable track record for influencing price action.
