Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Fri Aug 31, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Friday’s calendar is thin, but heavy. Both of its econ reports are both high-profile and reliably influential. And both are post-open, potentially interfering with price action –inhibiting ahead and exaggerating behind. PMI is released privately to its institutional subscribers, and any price reaction tends to be duplicated when released publicly several minutes later. Consumer Sentiment’s impact probably won’t be much unless it deviates from the recently steady stream of strong consumer readings.
