Econ Calendar
Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Fri Apr 22, 2016
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Being Friday morning’s only econ report, the PMI Flash might influence price action despite having a limited track record for that. The afternoon’s Rig Count tends to influence Crude Oil. Passover begins at sundown, so participation may thin out earlier than usual, even for a Friday.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Apr 21, 2016
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Thursday’s calendar is busy, but there are only two reliably influential reports. The pre-open Philly Fed is the only relevant Fed survey. And the post-open LEI usually influences price action. Keep in mind that reaction to the pre-open reports tends to be repeated by the post-open reports. Also look for late-afternoon action to become inhibited ahead of the post-close earnings from GOOG.

A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Monday’s Fed speaker isn’t likely to influence intraday price action because he speaks so long before the open. The post-open report has a limited track record of influencing price action without being a surprise. Meanwhile, the second week of quarterly earnings will be high-profile, like MS before the open, and NFLX after the close.
