Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Fri May 3, 2019
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Friday’s Employment Situation report is often released in a vacuum, but not this month. It is already both high-profile and reliable for influencing price action, and now more so for coming simultaneously with two other reports. And being a pre-open report, any noticeable reaction is likely to be duplicated in reaction to the post-open reports. Two later Fed speakers should maintain the economic focus into Friday afternoon.
