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

Look ahead: Economic Calendar

By Rod David | February 28, 2013 - 12:34 pm

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

Highlights: Despite the fear-mongering, I’m assuming that sequestration won’t close the exchanges due to cuts in oversight.) The oddly-timed PMI report enhances its potential price impact Friday, but doesn’t assure there to be a reaction. The post-open Consumer Sentiment usually influences price action, even if mostly to inhibit it. Any reaction should be short-lived while awaiting the ISM number several minutes later. Bernanke figures prominently for the third time this week, this time for a speech titled, “Low Long-Term Interest Rates.” According to last month’s FOMC Minutes, don’t expect a follow-up speech to be titled, “Long-term Low Interest Rates”.
