Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Apr 18, 2019
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Philly Fed is the only Fed survey with a reliable track record for influencing price action. That might be masked Thursday as it is released among two other high-profile reports, one of them also being reliably influential. So, Thursday’s open should be greeted with volatility. And any noticeable reaction to the pre-open reports is likely to be duplicated in reaction to the post-open reports, of which two are also reliably influential to price action.
