Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Wed Aug 15, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: This week’s calendar is unusual for its busiest day not being Thursday, but Wednesday. The staggered drip of econ reports has 2-3 that may be high-profile, but none has a track record for influencing price action. Retail Sales may be an exception, but only if its data surprise. Meanwhile, this is expiration week, so we may have a WedEX signal at the close.
