Look ahead: Economic Calendar
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Friday’s calendar is almost empty — it might as well be. Wholesale Trade does not have a history of influencing price action. The real excitement comes Thursday evening when the president addresses Congress.

Highlights: Busy calendar Thursday, but not a very busy day. Pre-open Jobless Claims is the only high-profile report. Bernanke’s speech will be interesting, but only as interesting as it can be ahead of the president’s evening address to Congress.
