Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Plenty distractions today, but nothing really pre-open to detract from earnings announcements. After reacting to yet another home sales metric this week, traders might spend their time watching the House hearing, while awaiting the afternoon’s FOMC news.

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

Highlights: A busy day of econ reports will keep things interesting after pre-open earnings announcements. Two home sales reports follow Monday’s big drop. And two of the 10:00 reports are high-profile and likely to disrupt any initial trending, either accelerating its pace or reversing it. Meanwhile, the FOMC meeting begins, so look for a focus on bonds.
