Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: No public agency reports are scheduled for Friday, so the potential government shutdown shouldn’t impact the econ calendar. The post-open report has a track record for influencing price action. That might be a function to some degree of also being high-profile, which won’t be as much the case in case of a shutdown.

Highlights: No high-profile or influential econ reports are scheduled Wednesday, although the Bank of Canada decision should have a little of both. Volatility tends to contract ahead of the afternoon’s Beige Book. But there are two Fed speakers closely following to keep volatility alive.
