Economic calendar

Scheduled releases and central bank decisions, with the previous figure, the actual figure once it is out, and a short note on what each one measures. Times are New York time. Schedules and figures come from the publishers themselves (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Federal Reserve, European Central Bank). Impact describes how widely followed a release is, not what it means for any market.

08:30US Employment Situation (October)
What is this?

Shows how many jobs the US economy added or lost last month and the unemployment rate. It is a quick read on how strong the economy is, and it feeds expectations for interest rates. It is revised later, so the first figure is not the final one.

08:30US Consumer Price Index (October)
What is this?

Measures how much the prices households pay for a basket of goods and services changed since last month. It is the most followed inflation reading, so it shapes what people expect the Federal Reserve to do about interest rates. Markets often move more than usual in the hour after it prints, in either direction.
