Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Almost every event and report on Friday’s econ calendar is both high-profile AND reliably influential to price action. Any noticeable reaction to either pre-open report is likely to be duplicated by the post-open Consumer Sentiment. Meanwhile, 3-4 Fed speakers keep the focus on data.

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

Highlights: Thursday morning’s Fed speaker follows a couple of pre-open reports that are both high-profile, and one of which often influences price action. Any noticeable impact is likely to be duplicated later. The noon hour’s 30-year auction often inhibits price action before the results, which then tends to allow a brief relief rally.

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

Highlights: Wednesday’s econ calendar isn’t so much busy as it is high-profile and influential. Any effect triggered by the pre-open Fed speaker would be likely to repeat in reaction to the post-open Jobs Openings report. Price action often becomes inhibited ahead of the afternoon’s FOMC Minutes release.

Highlights: Banks are closed for the Columbus Day holiday in the U.S. No mail delivery, and government bond cash markets don’t trade. But stock markets are open, potentially for the last off lower-volume sessions that have defined this rally, if not also enabled it.
