Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Jobless Claims will be especially influential this week, being the nearest thing to a glimpse of Friday’s Employment Situation report. That, and whether administration officials look, act and speak glumly or joyously.

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

Highlights: Wednesday’s highlight is, of course, the afternoon’s FOMC interest rate decision. Not so much the decision , which won’t be as surprising as the statements and language also released.

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

Highlights: Tuesday’s calendar is a steady stream of low-profile new items. None has any record of influencing price action. Combined into a simultaneous announcement probably wouldn’t make them any more relevant. Spacing them out might have some impact, if only to delay trending from getting any solid footing.

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

Highlights: Wow. A post-open report is already disruptive to the market’s harmony. Monday reports are more difficult to absorb. But this Monday has three simultaneous reports, after the open, and they’re all high-profile. Disruption usually influences price down.
