Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Wed Aug 1, 2018 – If, Then… Market Timing

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Wed Aug 1, 2018

By Rod David | July 31, 2018 - 12:34 pm

A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.

Highlights: It’s FOMC day, but also payrolls week, so jobs data take a higher profile. The pre-open ADP report offers an opportunity to gauge market anticipations. Meanwhile, any noticeable reaction to pre-open reports is likely to be duplicated in reaction to post-open reports. And there are 2-3 high-profile, reliably influential items scheduled. None of which includes the afternoon’s FOMC policy statement.
