Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Econ reports are rare on expiration day. To the degree that Wednesday’s expiration indicator predicted trending, the CPI reaction may offer an interesting parameter.

Consumer Price Index
8:30 AM ET

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

Highlights: 8:30’s three high-profile reports are as likely to inhibit price action before the news, as to generate a reaction afterward. The Philly Fed Survey at 10:00 may do the same. But here’s an interesting tactic — trending intact from 8:30’s items would be likely to react similarly at 10:00.

Highlights: The morning’s retail data will be interesting in the context of whether record Black Friday and Cyber-Monday sales have legs. Then a lot of Treasury paper is auctioned — including a sensitive 10-year piece — before the afternoon’s FOMC announcement. What could go wrong.
