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

Highlights: Friday’s spate of Fed speakers is the day’s only high-profile economic inputs. There being several afternoon speakers also helps 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: Suddenly, the holiday-shortened week gets very active with a busy calendar of high-profile AND reliably influential econ reports. Two of the three pre-open items are both, which is only likelier to create volatility for being released simultaneously. Any noticeable reaction to them is likely to be duplicated by the post-open reports, which also includes the high-profile influential LEI. Finally, the one-day delayed crude oil EIA report should at least offer a clear snapshot of how its inverted Head & Shoulders pattern is developing.
