Econ Calendar
Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Fri Dec 28, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: None of Friday’s reports is reliable for influencing price action, but the Retail report is high-profile. Regardless, any noticeable reaction to a pre-open report is likely to be duplicated by a post-open report.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Dec 27, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Thursday is, as usual, the week’s busiest. Two housing sector reports offer an opportunity for surprise by them potentially contradicting each other, or reinforcing an outlier. Meanwhile, any noticeable reaction to a pre-open report is likely to be duplicated by a post-open report.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Wed Dec 26, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Wednesday’s econ calendar is active, but its reports are neither high-profile nor reliably influential to price action. Nevertheless, any noticeable reaction to a pre-open item is likely to be duplicated by a post-open item… REMINDER: I’M AWAY FROM THE SCREENS THROUGH THE MORNING.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Mon Dec 24, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: It’s Christmas Eve, so markets close early. That significantly impacts volume, which is already suppressed by being a half-day between 3 other closed sessions. Trending is difficult to start, and also difficult to stop if started.
