Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: The first report of the week comes after Monday’s open, and it is high-profile. So, it should either accelerate or reverse initial trending.

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

Highlights: Friday’s Employment Situation report must be good. I mean, they’re literally going through hell and high water to release it before the election. And everyone knows they manipulated last month’s data. (Per Jack Welch, overheard at a Denny’s yesterday morning. At least, it looked like Jack Welch. Why is Jack Welch working at Denny’s?)

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

Highlights: Thursday’s calendar looks like it will rope-a-dope an already weary market. Three jobs metrics ahead of Friday’s employment report is high-profile enough, not to mention they are staggered before the open. The unusually time 8:58 and then 10:00 items each tend to influence price action, too.
