Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Mar 1, 2018
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Thursday’s calendar is busy, with a combination of high-profile and influential reports. And any noticeable reaction to a pre-open report is likely to be duplicated by a post-open report. That’s busy enough without adding Fed Chair Powell’s second congressional testimony of the week. Typically, the Chair fine-tunes or walks back any of Tuesday’s points that may have triggered an unanticipated response. There’s no indication of the second testimony’s opening remarks being pre-released before the open.
