Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Jan 4, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: The day before monthly payrolls is not busy. Thursday’s usual weekly reports are joined by several high-profile and influential items. And any reaction to the pre-open ADP will likely be duplicated by post-open reports, like PMI. Then a high-profile and influential (to price action) Fed speaker keeps things alive after the noon hour.
