Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: The last trading day of the year, and no econ reports are scheduled. Trading ends normally, and like last weekend, resumes on Monday. Volume is likely to taper off, and we’ll try to hold the Market Wrap early.

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

Highlights: Thursday is the holiday-shortened week’s busiest. But none of its reports have a track record for influencing price action, although at least the pre-open Claims is high-profile. Note that both weekly EIA reports are today.

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

Highlights: Wednesday’s calendar has two housing sector data. Either could be influential if it’s surprising. The second could also get a reaction based on its combination with the first. For context, last week’s housing sector reports reflected increased activity. Meanwhile, the post-open Consumer Confidence does have a track record for influencing price action.
