Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: It’s unusual to accompany expiration with econ reports, let alone high-profile and influential. But this quadruple expiration has two, and they’re staggered. The afternoon’s rig count influences Crude Oil, which influences the market at least momentarily — last week’s did not, but Crude prices did rise relatively sharply .

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

Highlights: Thursday’s calendar is busy, even without the pre-open Bank of England action. Two of the five 8:30 reports have reliable track records for influencing price action. And reactions they trigger tend to be duplicated by other reports.

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

Highlights: Last week’s EIA report had confirmed the prior day’s bullish API data, also duplicating its steep reaction. The two rarely confirm, and more rarely generate similar reactions, which helped to facilitate the next day’s decline. Follow-through could be much lengthier if last week’s relationship were repeated.

Highlights: The 30-year auction has been moved to Tuesday from its normal Thursday timing. The change is otherwise irrelevant, except for becoming a little likelier for awhile to influence price action. And this auction is being greeted by an especially volatile pattern, having broken sharply from a lengthy sloppy, choppy range .

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

Highlights: Monday’s pre-open Fed speaker is too early to reliably impact intraday action. But Fed speak is even higher-profile now than normal, and being Monday’s first even can set the tone for the day. One of the afternoon’s Fed speaker is rarely surprising, but that’s secondary as rate hike anticipation grows, and with another Fed speaker timed then, too.
