Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Friday’s calendar is thin again. The morning’s report has no track record for influencing price action. The afternoon report’s impact on Crude Oil is greater than on the market.

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

Highlights: This week’s thin econ calendar ends Thursday, which is littered with high-profile and influential reports, beginning with the ECB policy statement and Draghi presser. Philly Fed is the only regional report that actually impacts price action. And although not highlighted, the two housing sector reports offer an opportunity for contradictory numbers, or for each confirming a surprise.

Highlights: Wednesday’s calendar is emptier than any other day I’ve seen in a long time. The pre-open MBA apps has no track record for influencing price action. While the post-open EIA report impacts Crude Oil, it has been having only a momentary effect on the broader market.
