Econ Calendar

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

Highlights: Friday’s GDP is high-profile, but has no track record for influencing price action. The post-open Consumer Sentiment number does often generate a price reaction, and similarly inhibits price action ahead of its release.

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

Highlights: None of Thursday’s otherwise busy calendar is reliably influential to price action except for the worthy exception of the ECB policy statement and its subsequent press conference by Chair Draghi. The pre-open Jobless Claims is at least high-profile. Since last week’s number was a recent historical extreme — if not also a surprise — there is some potential for price reaction. And any reaction to the pre-open report would likely be duplicated by post-open reports. GOOGL, AMZN and MSFT report earnings post-close.

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

Highlights: Pre-open Durable Goods is both high-profile and reliable for influencing price action. Additionally, any price reaction is likely to be duplicated by post-open reports. And there are two Housing sector reports which aren’t otherwise influential, but could generate their own reaction if one were to contradict the other by enough differential.
