Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: The week starts without any disruptive news items, except for quarterly and annual earnings. News due at 1:00pm is unusual timing, and should be noted if holding a position into the event.

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

Highlights: The morning’s news flow is a minefield. A surprise from any one of them would be influential. Their proximity to each other makes them even deadlier if stepped on… The afternoon should slow down ahead of the three-day holiday weekend.

All Markets Closed

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

Highlights: It’s a busy day for news flow, one of the busiest in some time. The two highest-profile items are Jobless Claims before the open, and then the 30-year auction after lunch. Each is widely watched, unstable, and capable of influencing price action – whether in reaction to a surprise, or simply by getting the news behind the market.

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

Highlights: Another rather benign morning with regards to news flow. The afternoon gets interesting. The 10-year auction will be watched widely to extrapolate any expectations for Thursday’s 30-year deal. And then, of course, there’s the Beige Book release, likely to restrain early-afternoon volatility.

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

Highlights: It’s a fairly standard day of reporting, although the retail data might provide some surprises (or worse, yet – confirmation) about whether the consumer has continued his holiday shopping spree. Reactions to the auctions should not be ignored, especially with a 30-year deal coming Thursday.
