Econ Calendar
Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Fri Dec 16, 2016
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Friday is Quadruple Witch expiration, and the passively bullish WedEX suggests an upward bias into and out of the weekend. But not necessarily Friday morning, which still has a couple of higher-profile econ reports, albeit not with any track record for influencing price action.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Dec 15, 2016
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Five econ reports are released simultaneously before Thursday’s open. Two of them have a reliable track record for influencing price action. At least three are high-profile anyway. That should enhance volatility from any post-open reports.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Wed Dec 14, 2016
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Wednesday morning’s calendar is busy, and also both high-profile and influential. But the highlight is the afternoon’s FOMC events, with its long-awaited rate hike AND the year’s final quarterly Q&A with Fed chair Yellen — both reliable opportunistic with volatility and multiple sizable moves.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Tue Dec 13, 2016
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Tuesday’s most influential economic event isn’t a report, but the 30-year auction, which greets a deeply-depressed market. None of the session’s actual reports is either high-profile or has a reliable track record of influencing price action.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Mon Dec 12, 2016
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Absolutely no econ report is scheduled Monday, not even low-profile, unreliably influential. This can create a vacuum that elevates the impact of any other economic clues, enabling them to trigger a temporary reaction.
