Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu May 3, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Thursday is this week’s busiest econ calendar. Amazingly, none of its items has a reliable track record for influencing price action. Nevertheless, several are high-profile, and each can have more impact than usual because of the vacuum. Meanwhile, a reaction to any pre-open report is likely to be duplicated in reaction to post-open reports.
