Look ahead: Economic Calendar – for Thu Oct 5, 2017
A midday look ahead in preparation for economic reports and events scheduled for the next trading day.
Highlights: Thursday’s calendar is extremely busy. Not only because of several high-profile reports, none of which are reliable for influencing price action, but because of a virtual cornucopia of Fed speakers. Any obvious price reaction to the morning’s first report is likely to be duplicated by subsequent reports. That’s not necessarily the case with Fed speakers.
