Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Friday’s econ calendar is empty around the morning’s payrolls report. Both before, and more importantly after. Its reaction will have likely played out before the open, so that trending would be likely to extend and a reversal would find traction.

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

Highlights: Thursday is this week’s busiest econ calendar. Amazingly, none of its items has a reliable track record for influencing price action. Nevertheless, several are high-profile, and each can have more impact than usual because of the vacuum. Meanwhile, a reaction to any pre-open report is likely to be duplicated in reaction to post-open reports.

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

Highlights: Apple earnings are due after Tuesday’s close, which might set a tone for Techs on Wednesday. But after the pre-open ADP report gives a glimpse of sentiment ahead of Friday’s Employment Situation report, focus will turn to the afternoon’s FOMC policy statement — which is reliably volatile.

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

Highlights: Tuesday’s last two post-open econ reports are high-profile and announced simultaneously. One of those two reports and the earlier post-open report are reliable for influencing price action. And all reflect the production side of the economy. Any noticeable reaction to an earlier report is likely to be duplicated in reaction to a later report.

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

Highlights: The econ calendar is unusually busy and spread out for a Monday. None of the items is high-profile, which makes each one more capable of influencing price action if its data were surprising. Meanwhile, the quarterly earnings onslaught winds down.
