Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Fri Aug 3, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Friday morning’s pre-open Employment Situation report is essentially released in a vacuum, which has become less common. So, its effect on price action can be more significant. The post-open reports aren’t reliable for influencing price action on their own, but any reaction should duplicate the pre-open report’s reaction.
