Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Fri Apr 28, 2017
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Friday’s calendar isn’t light, but it’s remarkably heavy with influential and high-profile items. Especially the post-open PMI which usually triggers a reaction several minutes earlier as its institutional clients get the data early. That reaction tends to repeat when released publicly, and also to inform the reaction to the later report. Two Fed speakers keep Friday afternoon active.
