Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: This week won’t escape more economic data before the weekend. And it’s almost all high-profile. The first two items are due simultaneously. The third isn’t only post-open, it is oddly timed at 5 minutes before the cash session’s first half-hour has ended. Plenty of opportunity to disrupt price action.

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

Highlights: Jobless Claims offers the closest chance to confirm or invalidate last week’s Employment Report. Its bigger effect might be on the long bond, where a monthly auction takes place at the end of the noon hour.

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

Highlights: Wednesday’s calendar isn’t very busy. The MBA data has been influential, but its effect should be known well before the cash session open. The 10-year note auction is a potential landmine, being the first to go off after Tuesday’s FOMC announcement, and being sneak peak into Thursday’s 30-year auction.

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

Highlights: Following Monday’s empty econ calendar, Tuesday’s schedule is deceptively busy. But it’s items aren’t much higher profile than nothing at all. Of course, then comes the afternoon’s FOMC announcement. Normally price action might settle down ahead of the event, but this environment might have gotten too ripe for that.

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

Highlights: After a relatively heavy week of reports, and before the following week’s high-profile reports begin, Monday’s calendar is clear of anything influential.
