Econ Calendar
Look ahead: Economic Calendar
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Four high-profile reports, staggered through the open, should keep price action lively. But the resolution to the first two items should be renewed by the last. So, a favorable or unfavorable reaction that extends into the open should extend into that direction through the opening hour.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Three high-profile reports are due simultaneously before Thursday’s open, and they could set the tone for the day. PPI’s reaction could mask the Jobless Claims reaction, which can otherwise identify impending weakness. But the busy day continues, with the 30-year auction being a highlight.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: The “pulse of commerce index” (PCI) seems like an interesting metric. It is based on diesel fuel usage, which assumes a correlation to trucking – and it is real time. Bernanke’s first day of two consecutive congressional testimonies will also be influential Wednesday – watch for the lifting of an embargo on his opening remarks. And the 10-year auction will be another glimpse into the 30-year’s acceptance Thursday, following the 3-year’s auction Tuesday.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Three interesting items on Tuesday’s calendar, each of a different type. The pre-open “Small Business Optimism” index could foreshadow jobs numbers, since most new hiring emanates there. The 3-year auction is far enough out the yield curve to be predictive of Thursday’s 30-year auction. And anxiousness ahead of the afternoon’s FOMC Minutes could paralyze price action while awaiting its data.
