Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Friday’s GDP has a reliable track record for influencing price action. Any obvious reaction to it should be duplicated by subsequent report. And there are two more coming post-open. The afternoon Fed speaker is a reliable hawk, so if her remarks trigger a negative reaction it is likely anticipated by stronger hands and recoverable.

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

Highlights: Thursday’s Durable Goods has a reliable track record of influencing price action. It’s released simultaneously with Jobless Claims and an otherwise irrelevant Fed survey. The post-open housing sector report can influence price action if it’s strong.

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

Highlights: Wednesday’s Yom Kippur holiday means that volume will be lighter (beginning Tuesday afternoon as traders leave early for evening services). Meanwhile, ECB head Mario Draghi is will testify to a Eurozone body — his vocal tone is amazingly reliable for triggering harrowing stock market swings around the world. It’s also the first day of Fall (equinox at 4:21am ET) a.k.a. “Gann Day” since WD identified it as being more prone to topping than any other day. Gann was ahead of his time, and apparently so was the market.
