Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Only the post-open PMI is reliably influential to price action, but it’s not particularly high-profile. Retail sales is high-profile, but not very influential. Any noticeable reaction to a pre-open report will likely be duplicated in reaction to a post-open report.

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

Highlights: Thursday’s calendar is still pretty thin, albeit the week’s heaviest day. And not for reports, but for the ECB policy statement and Draghi presser, then later for the 30-year auction that is being greeted by a substantial rally.

Highlights: Another high-profile, influential econ report precedes Wednesday’s open, this time followed by a post-open report that can duplicate any price reaction. But the calendar is still thin.

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

Highlights: Tuesday’s PPI is both high-profile and reliable for influencing price action. But there is no post-open report to duplicate the pre-open report’s reaction.

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

Highlights: Monday’s Jobs Openings report tends to influence price action all the more when the prior Friday’s Employment Situation report was a surprise, and especially if JOLTS contradicts it. Similarly, any knee-jerk reaction upon reinforcing Friday’s report would likely reverse.
