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

Highlights: No econ reports are scheduled Friday morning, a rarity for any day, even for expiration. But the noon hour ends with the weekly rig count, affecting Crude Oil which affects stocks momentarily..

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

Highlights: Thursday’s Philly Fed is the only Fed survey with a reliable record for influencing price action. More so, any reaction to pre-open reports is likely to be duplicated by reactions to post-open reports. And the post-open LEI is another high-profile influential report.

Highlights: Wow, a Fed speaker is scheduled as the less liquid noon hour ends, just as price action usually becomes paralyzed by anxiousness ahead of a Fed event — FOMC Minutes, in this case.

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

Highlights: This week’s econ calendar is much busier than last week’s, much higher profile, and much more capable of influencing price action. Tuesday’s pre-open report is a good example, and any price reaction to it is likely to be duplicated by post-open items. Meanwhile, the otherwise noisy noon hour will be faced with absorbing a Fed speaker.
