Friday the 13th is always superstitious for traders and many are wary of working on such a day. But for investors and traders who trade on days when companies release quarterly reports, today is a good time. UnitedHealth (UNH). JPMorgan (JPM) Bank of America (BAC) Wells Fargo & Co (WFC) BlackRock (BLK) Citigroup (C) This is a list of banks and financial companies that will release quarterly reports. Almost all of the list will report before the market opens. Keeping an eye on these reports is necessary both for investors and those traders who trade indices that include these companies. For super volatility and directional price reaction as a result of the report not meeting investors' expectations - it is enough to show a slightly lower than expected profit and it will be a strong short-term catalyst. I recommend comparing last quarter's performance with the current report and disregarding the "forecast/expectation" value - as this value is often used in advance for a predicted reaction.

Is there a good calendar for tracking the exact time/date for such releases? I keep track of news in my economic calendar, but it doesn't contain earnings which we've seen this year can move the indices. Thank you.
Yes. Thanks. That was the one I found, but can't seem to see actual times for the release? Or am I blind?
I am not sure if there is an exact time available. All i know of is either pre market or after market.
Very likely, the market is going to be very quiet. Look at today's European market; it is very quiet.
I doubt if any of them provide an exact time, the calendar at the link below provides a call time, that is all. https://finance.yahoo.com/calendar/earnings
I never trade on Fridays 13th. It’s not any kind of superstition, but my tradition. On such days I relax and watch horror movies.
