Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Wed May 1, 2019
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Wednesday’s pre-open ADP is not only high-profile and influential to price action, it also offers a chance to gauge market sentiment ahead of Friday’s payrolls report. Being a pre-open report, any noticeable reaction is likely to be duplicated in reaction to the post-open reports. Two of which are also both high-profile and influential. As if the day’s econ calendar isn’t busy enough, the afternoon’s FOMC policy statement and Fed Chair Q&A are the most influential to price action.
