By Rod David | September 16, 2015 - 12:34 pm

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

Highlights: Busy calendar, influential reports, FOMC policy statement in the afternoon to keep markets anxious — what else could Thursday’s session offer? Well, it’s the quarterly FOMC meeting, followed by Fed Chair Yellen’s press conference. Oh, in case you haven’t heard, suddenly people have been talking about a possible rate hike.

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

Highlights: The week’s events start to get interesting Tuesday. The pre-open Retail Sales can be influential when it’s surprising. The Empire State survey is high-profile, but not influential, although anything is possible this week ahead of the FOMC meeting.

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

Highlights: Two ends of the economic spectrum provide snapshots Friday morning, the pre-open Producer Price Index and post-open Consumer Sentiment. They’re both high-profile, with reliable track records for influencing price action.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Sep 10 2015

By Rod David | September 9, 2015 - 12:34 pm

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

Highlights: Thursday’s calendar is busy, but not very influential. Pre-open Claims has gotten a track record of having no influence, at least not without being a surprise. The afternoon’s 30-year auction will be interesting with the bond having fallen recently and dramatically to fresh lows.
