Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: The day is dominated by one high-profile item, the Employment Situation report. By now, reactions to the week’s other jobs reports should have given us a good basis to anticipate this report’s reaction, too. Wholesale Trade is not typically a disruptive report, despite being post-open.

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

Highlights: Another monthly employment report from the private sector by way of Monster.com. Its effects will be absorbed well before the cash session open. But Jobless Claims will have an impact, and the reactions will give us our final observations for anticipating the reaction to Friday’s Employment Situation report.

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

Highlights: Its “Employment Situation” week, so here come the private sector reports looking to leverage the exposure by timing their own releases. (Wouldn’t a mid-month look be more useful?) Anyway, at least the market’s reactions can help to anticipate Friday’s likely pattern. The day’s calendar is otherwise a non-event.
