Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Oct 26, 2017
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: None of Thursday’s otherwise busy calendar is reliably influential to price action except for the worthy exception of the ECB policy statement and its subsequent press conference by Chair Draghi. The pre-open Jobless Claims is at least high-profile. Since last week’s number was a recent historical extreme — if not also a surprise — there is some potential for price reaction. And any reaction to the pre-open report would likely be duplicated by post-open reports. GOOGL, AMZN and MSFT report earnings post-close.
