Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Quite a look at the consumer, between Retail Sales and Consumer Sentiment. Look out for the latter, which is due almost 30 minutes after the open. That 9:55 time still catches many off-guard.

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

Highlights: Finally, the news flow picks up with Jobless Claims before the open, and then another 30-year auction after lunch. Surprising results in the morning would keep the market on pins and needles until the afternoon. Expected results in the morning would open the door to an afternoon surprise.

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

Highlights: A relatively low-profile item can still influence price action when it is due 30 minutes after the open. That influence isn’t usually a reaction, but simply the restraint on trending.

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

Highlights: A slow news week continues with only the usual weekly retail metrics, and then a couple of auctions on the short-end. This retail data does have a better opportunity to influence price action since it includes Black Friday results. And the 3-year paper isn’t necessarily a done deal.
