Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Friday’s highlight is almost its only report, which is monthly payrolls released before the open. The noon hour’s Fed speaker can be influential to price action, and more reliably when following high-profile data.

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

Highlights: Thursday is usually the week’s busiest for econ reports. This week’s isn’t entirely empty, but its relatively few reports are not reliable for influencing price action.

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

Highlights: The econ calendar is busy for a Wednesday, even busier than this week’s Thursday calendar which is usually the week’s busiest. Two pre-open Fed speakers are too early to be reliably influential to price action, unlike the afternoon speakers. Meanwhile, the pre-open ADP report is not only influential, it also gives us insight into the market’s possible reactions to Friday’s payrolls. And post-open reports are likely to duplicate any noticeable reaction to the pre-open ADP.

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

Highlights: Two Fed speakers Tuesday keep alive the outside inputs on a day with an otherwise dead econ calendar. The afternoon’s speaker is the Fed chair, so price may become inhibited ahead of the event.

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

Highlights: Monday’s calendar hasn’t been busy for awhile, and suddenly it’s going to be very busy. The pre-open Fed speaker might trigger a reaction, but the three post-open reports are a combination of high-profile and reliably influential to price action. They’re also the first last-looks at data that might either justify or question Wednesday’s FOMC rate hike.
