Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Friday’s econ reports have little track record of influencing price action. Atlanta Fed is getting there. But this being expiration — quarterly quadruple witch, no less — is one big wild card both for the open, and for reaction to the noon hour’s Fed speaker.

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

Highlights: One day following the FOMC decision is all but assured not to range narrowly. Two high-profile and influential reports help to ensure that. The pre-open Philly Fed is the only Fed survey that is influential to price action. Reactions to pre-open report tend to be duplicated by post-open reports, like the LEI.

Highlights: This is it. The rate hike that will be heard around the world. Or, the inability to hike rates, which will be heard around the galaxy. As if that hype and anticipation weren’t enough to ensure a lively reaction to Wednesday’s FOMC policy statement. There’s also Yellen’s quarterly Q&A press conference following it.
