Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Aug 31, 2017
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Thursday’s two pre-open reports may inform last-minute estimates ahead of Friday’s payrolls report, but neither has a reliable track record for influencing price action. However, any impact by them is likely to be duplicated by post-open reports. One of which is the high-profile reliably influential Chicago PMI. It is released privately to its institutional subscribers, and their reaction is often duplicated when released publicly.
