Economic Calendar - April 16-20

Monday looks set to be quite a busy day this week with several economic announcements scheduled. Firstly we have the Empire State manufacturing survey and retail sales reports out at 8.30ET which could well affect the markets, and then we have long term TIC (Treasury International Capital) flows and business inventories at 9.00ET and 10.00ET respectively.

Tuesday sees two important data releases at 8.30ET - CPI and housing starts. Then we have industrial production at 9.15ET.

On Wednesday we have less significant economic data releases with the MBA purchase applications at 7.00ET and the usual crude inventories at 10.30ET.

Thursday sees the jobless claims release at 8.30ET followed by leading indicators at 10.00ET which could both have an effect on the markets, but the biggest announcement of the day is the Philadelphia Fed Survey at 12.00ET.

Finally on Friday there are currently no important data releases scheduled.
