Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Any noticeable reaction to Friday’s pre-open reports is likely to be duplicated by its post-open reports. Both of which are high-profile and already likely to influence price action. Also remember that the PMI number is released privately to its institutional subscribers, and that its price reaction is likely to be duplicated when released publicly minutes later.

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

Highlights: Like Tuesday, Thursday’s econ calendar is busy but has only one reliably influential report. That’s after the ECB policy statement and Draghi Q&A. And all of the high-profile reports are pre-open, but several report simultaneously, all but ensuring the market’s open is greeted with volatility.

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

Highlights: Tuesday’s calendar is busy, yet has only one reliably influential econ report while quarterly earnings continue. But there are both simultaneous pre-open and post-open reports, which can be a catalyst for price action. And three of those reports are housing sector data, so contradictions or confirmation of outliers can trigger volatility. Also, any noticeable reaction to pre-open reports is often duplicated by post-open reports.

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

Highlights: Monday’s first post-open econ report isn’t high-profile, but it does have somewhat of a track record for influencing price action. Regardless, it would be likely to duplicate any obvious reaction to the pre-open report, although that’s not an influential Fed survey.
