Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Monday’s post-open Factory orders has a very limited track record of influencing price action. But post-open Monday reports still have greater potential influence, all else being equal.

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

Highlights: The pre-open FOMC committee member speaker is a centrist, so he can surprise markets only if he were to strenuously endorse one particular policy path, and then probably only tapering. His pre-open remarks are book-ended by a hawkish committee member speaking before noon. The interim two reports both have track records for influencing price action.

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

Highlights: Jobless Claims is Thursday’s only pre-open report that tends to influence price action, and even then not so much. The post-open PMI can be very influential, especially if its private subscriber release several minutes earlier has already begun impacting price action.

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

Highlights: Wednesday morning’s ADP and CPI reports are high-profile and influential. But trending should be contained to the morning, before the impending FOMC announcement which tends to paralyze price action. Then the fun should begin again.

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

Highlights: A steady stream of influential econ reports are released Tuesday morning. The Goldman and Retail sales reports are not generally among them, but may have a higher profile since the latter will be released simultaneously with the high-profile PPI. The pre-open HPI and post-open Consumer Confidence will continue the look at consumers which began with the earlier retail sales reports.
