Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Friday’s two simultaneous pre-open reports are high-profile. Only Durable Goods has a track record for influencing price action. Any obvious reaction to it would likely be duplicated by post-open reports — there aren’t any, but it could still be a guide for anticipating the resolution of any knee-jerk reactions.

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

Highlights: Thursday’s calendar as usual is the week’s busiest. It’s also the highest-profile. Least of which is the econ reports, compared to the pre-open ECB policy statement and Mario Draghi conference call. Its influence could be greatly leveraged by the USD collapse in January, and the US comments about it on Wednesday. Almost any obvious reaction to it is likely to be duplicated by post-open reports, of which only one is otherwise reliable for influencing price action.

Highlights:  Wednesday’s econ calendar is relatively busy, too, but not necessarily with high-profile or reliably influential items. Not that it would get much oxygen as the annual earnings onslaught continues.
