Econ Calendar

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

Highlights:  Here comes the big one, monthly payrolls. Bigger, yet, is the parade of Fed speakers throughout the day — at least, through the noon hour.

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

Highlights:  Thursday’s calendar is busy ahead of Friday payrolls report. Three of Thursday’s reports might offer some glimpse into it, depending on whether they reinforce or undermine Wednesday’s ADP miss. Meanwhile, note that the 9:45 and 10:00 reports are more vulnerable to reacting similarly to any reaction that was triggered by the pre-open reports.

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

Highlights:  It’s payrolls week, so we get a few extra looks at the job market. ADP’s reaction can help to inform the market’s sentiment. The reaction can also inform us to the likely reaction to post-open PMI. Regardless, PMI is released privately to institutional subscribers, and any reaction is likely to repeat when released publicly. Yellen speaks in the afternoon, which should inhibit price action just before any opening remarks.

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

Highlights:  Of at least two high-profile reports on Tuesday, one is also reliably influential to price action. And coming post-open, any noticeable reaction to the two pre-open reports would likely be duplicated.

Highlights:  Two Fed speakers highlight what usually isn’t a very active day for economic events Monday. Several reports due out are relatively high-profile, but only the housing sector report can influence price action, and then only if it is a surprise.
