Look ahead: Economic Calendar – If, Then… Market Timing

Look ahead: Economic Calendar

By Rod David | February 25, 2013 - 12:34 pm

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

Highlights: Big day, Tuesday. The reports are the least of it, when they alone would be remarkable. Those are the three housing sector looks, two simultaneously, when I have very little record of two being released on the same day. Anyway, the BIGGER big activity is the first half of Bernanke’s semi-annual congressional testimony. He is expected to walk back last week’s hawkish FOMC Minutes that spooked the market just for there having been discussion about ending QEternity. This would likely produce a positive price reaction, and probably also positive price anticipation, centered around the embargo being lifted on his prepared opening remarks at 10:00… P.S. Don’t assume that positive price action on Tuesday’s first appearance won’t be undone if/when Bernanke takes the same tack Wednesday.. P.P.S. The Senate is scheduled to vote on Jack Lew’s confirmation as the next Treasury Secretary.
