Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Fri Feb 1, 2019
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: It has become rarer through the years for the Employment Situation report to be released in a vacuum. But that has usually meant one and maybe two other reports following it. This Friday’s report is unusual for so many reports following it. Post-open, high-profile, reliably influential to price action, and three to be released simultaneously. Volatility should be unusually high for a Friday morning.
