Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: The cash bond market is closed Friday for Veteran’s Day. Banks, too. But not futures. And I am unaware of a previous instance of economic report being released without the bond market being open. This only enhances the potential for volatility.

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

Highlights: Thursday is this week’s busiest, and almost the only day with any influential items. It is certainly the most well-rounded. From the BOE announcement (ECB’s announcement last week was very influential to price action), to the pre-open Jobless Claims, and on to the afternoon’s 30-year auction — the calendar is a minefield to be tread carefully.

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

Highlights: The pre-open PCI report has no history of influencing the market, except in the case of a surprise. Meanwhile, while Bernanke does speak at the open, the timing makes it unlikely that his remarks will be constructed to send any message. Perhaps some sort of a relief rally will follow, no matter how limited.
