Highlights: Friday’s two post-open reports have their own track records of influencing price action. Their unusual timing and high-profile data create volatility into and out of their release. Throw in Bernanke’s speech at 10:00, and morning volatility is all but assured.

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

Highlights: GDP is high-profile, but not very influential to price action without being very surprising. Home Sales may inhibit price action before its release, depending upon the reaction to Tuesday’s housing data. But the afternoon’s Beige Book release will have the most impact.
