Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Wednesday”s GDP is high-profile, but it has no track record of influencing price action. The noon hour”s 5-year note auction can inhibit the market until it comes in, which usually resolves in a “relief rally” of some sort.

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

Highlights: Tuesday”s pre-open Durable Goods report is high-profile with a track record for influencing price action. The post-open reports are less influential. But there is a tendency for the pre-open sentiment to repeat post-open, and the two housing sector reports are opportunities for that.

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

Highlights: Monday”s calendar is very busy, but that can make its reports more influential than their track records might otherwise indicate. Probably not the pre-open Fed survey, but the post-open housing sector report — especially if it reads higher than the recent record.

Highlights:

Friday”s post-open fed survey is high-profile, but has no track record of influencing price action. The two fed speakers are much likelier both to inhibit price action prior to their comments, and then to react to the comments.

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

Highlights:

Thursday”s calendar is busy, high-profile and with several items that have track records for influencing price action. More so, whichever direction the pre-open reports trigger a reaction tends to be duplicated by post-open reports.
