Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Mar 31, 2016 – If, Then… Market Timing

Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Mar 31, 2016

By Rod David | March 30, 2016 - 12:34 pm

A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.

Highlights: Maybe the monthly Challenger report and weekly Claims will be more influential ahead of Friday’s payrolls. At least, anything suggesting a weakening economy would be bullish for stocks, but the inverse isn’t necessarily true as fewer people believe a rate hike is coming. The Fed speaker will have spoken already Wednesday afternoon, so any knee-jerk reaction to his remarks should be temporary. The post-open PMI is always influential.
