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

Highlights: Thursday night’s Fed speak might be long forgotten by the time Friday morning’s Employment Situation report is released. The post-open report has no track record of influencing price action, although the afternoon’s centrist Fed speaker might trigger a price reaction.

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

Highlights: Thursday’s calendar is varied, and busy throughout the day, with ECB and BOE interest rate policy decisions, Jobless Claims, the 30-year auction and afternoon Fed speak (a hawk). Any one of those would keep the market on defensive, let alone one after the other, with the first earnings announcement coming at the close, and one day preceding the Employment Situation report.

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

Highlights: Wednesday’s pre-open ADP report tends to trigger a price reaction. The afternoon’s FOMC Minutes usually triggers a reaction, too — more so this month, as it is for last month’s meeting that announced tapering. The minutes might reveal whether that was tempered.

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

Highlights: Tuesday’s pre-open Fed speaker probably won’t surprise the market unless he were to endorse tapering. Meanwhile, his comments might be interesting ahead of Wednesday’s release of the last meeting’s FOMC Minutes.
