Econ Calendar
Look ahead: Economic Calendar
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Friday’s sole report is post-open, which may be the only reason it can influence price action. But without being a surprise, its influence should be limited only to inhibiting initial price action.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Despite appearing to be heavy, Thursday’s calendar is interesting only before the open. Two early currency-related items precede the Jobless Claims data that will be the first look at employment since Friday’s report.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Wednesday’s calendar has little impact on the broader market. Even if the pre-open MBA number were to surprise, its timing is far removed from regular trading hours and its reaction would be absorbed by then.

Look ahead: Economic Calendar
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: The calendar shifts gears Tuesday, before Tuesday even starts, with a speech Monday evening by Bernanke. Tuesday morning’s econ reports include a high-profile post-open item. The afternoon’s FOMC Minutes are regaining their influence on price action as attention begins to focus on whether QE is giving way to QT.
