Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Wed Dec 16, 2015
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: This is it. The rate hike that will be heard around the world. Or, the inability to hike rates, which will be heard around the galaxy. As if that hype and anticipation weren’t enough to ensure a lively reaction to Wednesday’s FOMC policy statement. There’s also Yellen’s quarterly Q&A press conference following it.
