What the events are

What each kind of scheduled event is, where to find its dates, and where to learn more. This page lists no dates of its own.

• Fed rate decisions (FOMC)

  The Federal Open Market Committee sets the federal funds target range at scheduled meetings and publishes a statement. Rate-sensitive markets such as Treasury futures, the dollar and index futures can move quickly around the release.

  Dates: listed in the economic calendar (US, every importance level).

  Lesson: Central banks and interest rates Glossary: FOMCGlossary: Federal funds rate

• Inflation reports: CPI, PPI and PCE

  Monthly price reports. CPI tracks consumer prices, PPI tracks prices producers receive, and the PCE price index is the inflation measure the Fed names in its target. Each has a headline and a "core" version that leaves out food and energy.

  Dates: listed in the economic calendar (US, every importance level).

• Jobs data

  The monthly jobs report (nonfarm payrolls, the unemployment rate and average hourly earnings) plus weekly jobless claims. Revisions to earlier months are part of the release.

  Dates: listed in the economic calendar (US, every importance level).

  Lesson: The jobs report Glossary: Nonfarm payrolls

• Growth and activity: GDP, ISM and retail sales

  GDP measures total output each quarter, released in advance, second and third estimates. ISM surveys of purchasing managers (PMIs) and monthly retail sales give earlier reads on activity.

  Dates: listed in the economic calendar (US, every importance level).

  Lesson: GDP, PMI and retail sales Glossary: GDPGlossary: PMIGlossary: Retail sales

• Treasury auctions

  The Treasury sells bills, notes and bonds at scheduled auctions. Demand at an auction can move yields, which feeds into rate-sensitive futures and the dollar.

  Dates: listed in the economic calendar (US, every importance level).

  Lesson: The yield curve Glossary: Bond yieldGlossary: Yield curve

• EIA crude oil inventories

  The Energy Information Administration publishes weekly US crude oil and fuel inventory figures. Crude oil futures often react when stocks change more or less than expected.

  Dates: listed in the economic calendar (US, every importance level).

  Lesson: Commodity futures: crude oil and goldLesson: The dollar, oil and gold in macro

• Quarterly futures expiration and roll

  Equity index futures expire on a quarterly cycle. In the days before expiration, trading volume moves from the expiring contract to the next one (the roll), and the price gap between the two contracts shows up on continuous charts.

  Dates: not in the economic calendar. Check the exchange's own contract calendar or your broker's platform for the exact dates.

• Monthly options expiration

  Standard monthly listed options expire on a set day each month, and many products also have weekly expirations. Exercise, assignment and settlement follow the contract rules.

  Dates: not in the economic calendar. Check the exchange's own expiration calendar or your broker's platform for the exact dates.

  Lesson: Exercise, assignment and settlement Glossary: ExpirationGlossary: Cash settlement

• Market holidays and early closes

  Exchanges close for some public holidays and shorten trading on a few days around them. Futures sessions and settlement times can change on those days too.

  Dates: not in the economic calendar. Check each exchange's own holiday schedule; stock and futures hours can differ on the same day.

• Company earnings

  Public companies report results each quarter, usually with guidance and a conference call. Index futures and ETFs can move when large companies report, especially in the weeks when many report at once.

  Dates: not in the economic calendar. TradingView has no free earnings calendar widget, so it is not shown here. TradingView publishes an earnings calendar on its own site.
