Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: A parade of Fed speakers accompanies quarterly Quadruple Witch expiration, against the backdrop of WedEX, and a couple of high-profile influential econ reports. Oh, and two days of illiquidity are fast-approaching, but, no pressure.

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

Highlights: Thursday’s BOE policy statement doesn’t usually influence price action, but it has a better chance on the day following the FOMC’s statement. Philly Fed is the only regional survey with a track record for influencing price action. I can’t find another JOLTS release later than the week following the Employment Situation report, which could give it more impact if surprising. It’s being released simultaneously with the already influential LEI. That’s a lot for the market to dodge.

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

Highlights: Wednesday’s calendar is busy. More so, it contains several influential items. And it’s spread out into the afternoon’s FOMC policy statement. Best of all, this being a quarterly meeting, Fed Chair Yellen will host Q&A — and her utterings have rivaled Draghi’s for influence price action.

Highlights: Tuesday’s calendar is busy. Only PPI has a reliable track record for influencing price action. But several other reports are scheduled for release simultaneously with others, which does make them more capable of surprise.
