US Economic Calendar
Every major US release: payrolls, CPI, PCE, FOMC, GDP, ISM, jobless claims and more. Times in ET, impact ratings, and the prior print live from FRED. Dates are recurring estimates.
About the economic calendar
This calendar tracks every scheduled US economic release that can move markets: Nonfarm Payrolls, CPI and PCE inflation, FOMC rate decisions, GDP, retail sales, ISM surveys, housing data and weekly jobless claims. Each entry shows the release time in Eastern Time, an impact rating and the previous print, so you can see what markets are comparing the new number against.
The big releases set the tone for entire trading days. Payrolls and CPI mornings are routinely the most volatile moments of the month, and Fed decision afternoons can reprice rate expectations across every asset class at once. Skimming the week list on Sunday evening is a simple habit that keeps the week from surprising you.
What time do US economic releases come out?
Most major releases, including Nonfarm Payrolls and CPI, land at 8:30 am ET. ISM surveys arrive at 10:00 am ET, and FOMC rate decisions are announced at 2:00 pm ET with the press conference at 2:30 pm.
Which releases move markets the most?
CPI, Nonfarm Payrolls and FOMC decisions historically cause the largest same-day moves in stocks and bonds, because they directly shape expectations for Federal Reserve policy.
What does the impact rating mean?
It is a guide to how strongly markets typically react to that release. High-impact events regularly move index futures within seconds; low-impact ones rarely do.
