Highlights: Friday’s pre-open payrolls is announced in a vacuum, with no other reports around it. So, the ultimate reaction is likely to be obvious early, and sometimes also fully developed. The afternoon’s Fed speaker might help to keep alive volatility into the weekend.

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

Highlights: Two high-profile econ reports are on Monday’s calendar. Also, two reports have a reliable track record for influencing price action. How is this possible, when there are only three reports? Because PMI is influential but not high-profile, and Construction spending is high-profile, but seldom influential. Meanwhile, they’re all industrial snapshots, increasing potential for one number to be an outlier, or for all three to confirm surprising strength or weakness.
