Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Jan 24, 2019
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Thursday’s calendar is the week’s busiest. It also contains 2-3 high-profile items that are reliably influential to price action. And it begins with the ECB policy statement, which probably won’t be surprising in itself, but is followed by Mario Draghi’s Q&A that often finds a way for its effort at transparency to create more uncertainty. Any net reaction to pre-open reports is likely to be duplicated by post-open reports.
