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

Highlights: Thursday’s calendar is unusually busy with plenty of econ reports. But few are high-profile, and only Philly Fed is influential. Any noticeable reaction to it could be duplicated by the other reports. The session’s several Fed speakers could be more influential, even if only to inhibit price action until their remarks are disseminated.
