Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Wed Oct 3, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: The econ calendar is busy for a Wednesday, even busier than this week’s Thursday calendar which is usually the week’s busiest. Two pre-open Fed speakers are too early to be reliably influential to price action, unlike the afternoon speakers. Meanwhile, the pre-open ADP report is not only influential, it also gives us insight into the market’s possible reactions to Friday’s payrolls. And post-open reports are likely to duplicate any noticeable reaction to the pre-open ADP.
