Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: GDP and Jobless Claims before the open could team up on interest rates. The 7-year paper being auctioned at 1:00 is far enough out on the yield curve to be impacted either way. So a surprising reaction to the pre-open reports could be repeated after lunch.

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

Highlights: Durable Goods before the open is getting a higher-profile as estimates for it rise, and FOMC considers interest rates next week. New Home Sales (for September) after the open will also offer another perspective to Tuesday’s Case-Schiller home price index which showed prices rose (in August).

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

Highlights: A steady flow of econ reports through the morning might seem capable of keeping sentiment in flux. In practice, the pre-open reports should set the tone for how later items are absorbed. Consumer Confidence at 10:00 is high-profile, and might make an exception.

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

Highlights: Seems like a slow news day. But the only report’s post-open timing can keep the open in flux. At least two other home sales reports came earlier this week, and their reactions will surely guide anticipation for this one. Not noted below are a couple of Fed appearances, including Bernanke.
