Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Wed Apr 10, 2019
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Is Wednesday an unofficial Central Banks day? The ECB policy statement and ECB Chair Draghi’s press conference are reliable for influencing pre-open price action. The high-profile and influential CPI is released when Draghi first speaks. The afternoon’s FOMC Minutes should continue their recent new high-impact for being full of it, “it” being the rhetoric the committee hopes will accomplish what their inaction will not. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Powell is on the calendar through Friday for meeting with Democrats, which is probably irrelevant.
