Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Monday’s two post-open econ reports are not low-profile. And the pre-open report can also be impactful. Their combination, coming off of a three-day weekend, does introduce an unusual wild card.

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

Highlights: It’s Good Friday, and US Banks open, while equity markets are closed. There are still two econ reports, but they might as well be trees falling in a forest.

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

Highlights: Three items are announced simultaneously pre-open, two of which are high-profile. But the post-open PMI might be the morning’s most influential. Volatility is likely to be compressed into the morning since the bond market closes early ahead of Friday’s holiday.

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

Highlights: I don’t normally highlight Fed speeches since positions are pre-known and anticipated. But four speeches are stacked on top of each other Wednesday, having potential to rope-a-dope the market. Meanwhile, the morning’s post-open housing sector report could be influential after Tuesday morning’s two reports.

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

Highlights: Where Tuesday’s econ reports aren’t entirely high-profile, they are scheduled in a very influential pattern. The most relevant to economists is the pre-open Durable Goods, which is surrounded by retail data. Then two housing sector reports are staggered, with the second being one of four post-open reports announced simultaneously.
