Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Monthly payrolls doesn’t usually share its announcement time, let alone the spotlight, with another econ report. Often it’s the day’s only report. Friday’s other pre-open report is more high-profile than it is influential to price action, so that’s probably not relevant. The morning’s Fed speaker may be more closely watched in case of there having been a significant market reaction.

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

Highlights: Thursday morning’s ECB policy statement will likely be influential. And the more controversial it is, the likelier that price action will be influenced wildly by the later Draghi press conference. Meanwhile, two jobs related reports prep the market for Friday’s pre-open Employment Situation report.
