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

Highlights: The post-open Consumer Sentiment tends to influence price action, both inhibiting it and then encouraging it. Bernanke’s Q&A during the noon hour probably won’t be influential, regardless of who is asking the questions.

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

Highlights: Two central bank announcements and Jobless Claims will take their shots pre-open. The latter is the first touchstone since Friday’s controversial Employment numbers. But the noon hour’s exit will be most interesting when the 30-year auction results are reported.

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

Highlights: An embargo on Bernanke’s prepared remarks to the Senate Budget Committee will be lifted at 10:00, or moments earlier. Several minutes later, regardless of the ongoing hearing, a knee-jerk reaction to almost anything said there will be just that — a knee-jerk reaction — and probably retraced or even reversed more substantially in the opposite direction. More important than the Fed will be the relative ease, or lack thereof, with which the Treasury begins this week’s sales.
