Look ahead: Economic Calendar
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Wednesday’s calendar is a potential minefield. Its two high-profile pre-open and post-open reports are influential. Durable Goods, obviously, but also the Home Sales following Tuesday’s unprecedented three housing sector reports. Probably the biggest catalyst is day-two of Bernanke’s congressional testimony. There is on reason to assume that Tuesday’s reaction to day-one has failed to discount one iota of his message, or that his message Wednesday will change one iota from Tuesday. So, that reaction is very vulnerable to being undone.
