Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Monday morning’s housing sector report could impact price action if it is very surprising. It is otherwise not likely to have an effect. Neither is the regional Fed survey.

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

Highlights: Mario Draghi speaks, and he is very reliable for generating a market reaction. That might inhibit price action ahead of his remarks. The other pre-open speaker is a hawkish Fed bank president. The afternoon’s speaker probably won’t have any greater effect on price action than the morning’s speaker.

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

Highlights: Thursday’s econ reports and Fed speakers are high-profile, with track records of influencing price action. The pre-open Jobless Claims has been having less and less impact, but being announced simultaneously with PPI can give it more impact on price action. The post-open Philly Fed is the only Fed survey with a track record of influencing price action.

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

Highlights: Wednesday morning’s pre-open CPI often influences price action. It is announced simultaneously with Retail Sales, and later comes Home Sales, each influencing price action only when their data are very surprising. There is a Senate panel discussing financial holding companies regulations, which could influence the market since Banks have been jockeying for leadership in the rally. But the afternoon’s FOMC Minutes is likely to be the session’s highlight.
