Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Friday’s pre-open reports have no track record for influencing price action. If they do this time, then that’s very likely to be duplicated in reaction to the post-open Consumer Sentment. The noon hour’s Fed speaker should help to keep things lively ahead of the afternoon’s rig count.

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

Highlights:
Two Fed speakers and a couple of high-profile reports are released pre-open. Only one has a track record for influencing price action, but being released simultaneously might increase their impact. The morning’s two Fed speakers are scheduled simultaneously, too. A shame they won’t cancel each other out.

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

Highlights: Wednesday’s afternoon’s Beige Book is reliable for both inhibiting and then triggering price action. The pre-open PPI also influences price action, and its reaction is often duplicated by other econ reports before and after the open. The mid-morning’s EIA report is likely to have an impact, too.

Highlights: None of Tuesday’s several econ reports have a track record for influencing price action. But the day is book-ended by two Fed speakers, one appearing at the unusual late-afternoon time — three, including the closing appearance — all coming one day after Monday’s expedited FOMC meeting.

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

Highlights: Not econ reports are scheduled for Monday. Not just no high-profile or influential reports. None. It’s as good a day as any for the FOMC to call an “expedited” meeting.
