Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Friday’s Employment Situation report is often released in a vacuum, but not this month. It is already both high-profile and reliable for influencing price action, and now more so for coming simultaneously with two other reports. And being a pre-open report, any noticeable reaction is likely to be duplicated in reaction to the post-open reports. Two later Fed speakers should maintain the economic focus into Friday afternoon.

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

Highlights: Thursday’s pre-open Claims is high-profile, but usually not influential to price action, although that might be different ahead of Friday’s payrolls. Any noticeable reaction is likely to be duplicated in reaction to the post-open report.

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

Highlights: Wednesday’s pre-open ADP is not only high-profile and influential to price action, it also offers a chance to gauge market sentiment ahead of Friday’s payrolls report. Being a pre-open report, any noticeable reaction is likely to be duplicated in reaction to the post-open reports. Two of which are also both high-profile and influential. As if the day’s econ calendar isn’t busy enough, the afternoon’s FOMC policy statement and Fed Chair Q&A are the most influential to price action.

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

Highlights: Tuesday’s post-open PMI is released privately several minutes earlier to institutional subscribers, and the price reaction tends to repeat when released publicly. It is followed by Consumer Confidence, which is both high-profile and reliable for influencing price action. The pre-open reports are neither, but any noticeable reaction anyway would likely be duplicated by the post-open reports.
