Econ Calendar

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

Factory Orders might influence price action if it”s a surprise. Otherwise, exit polling will be Tuesday”s only relevant pre-known event. And that story won”t be surprising unless Democrats seem to be coming from behind.

Motor Vehicle Sales aren”t usually released on Mondays. But this is an unusually busy Monday. The post-open PMI number is influential, as is ISM 15 minutes later. Volatility is kept alive by the noon hour”s hawkish Fed speaker.

Friday”s two pre-open reports have no track record for influencing price action, but the post-open items do. Chicago PMI is released privately to its institutional subscribers, whose surprise always impacts price action. The number”s public release several minutes later tends to duplicate or exacerbate the institutional reaction. Consumer Sentiment is also an influential report.

Thursday”s GDP isn”t necessarily influential to price action, and Jobless Claims hardly is influential anymore. Bloomberg is not at all influential.

MBA Purchase apps have been influential only when very surprising. The 2-year and 5-year auctions aren”t typically influential either, but would be if they didn”t go off smoothly. The FOMC has come to trigger more volatility than the monthly Employment report, so just one martini at lunch please.
