Official-source events only (BLS, BEA, Census Bureau, Federal Reserve, Department of Labor), so this calendar is deep on US macro and quiet elsewhere. Forecast values are not shown because no free official source publishes them. Actuals appear within the hour for CPI and payrolls and usually within the hour for the rest, from the agency series.

What this data is

Economic calendar

The schedule comes straight from the agencies that publish the numbers: the BLS release calendars (CPI, PPI, the employment report, JOLTS, import prices, productivity, the employment cost index), BEA's schedule (GDP, personal income and outlays, trade), the Census Bureau's indicator calendar (retail sales, housing starts and permits, new home sales, durable goods, construction spending, inventories, factory orders), the Fed's FOMC, G.17 and Beige Book pages, and the Thursday cadence of weekly jobless claims. Nothing is transcribed from a third-party calendar, so the dates and times are the ones that will actually print.

When a release lands, the actual is pulled from the source series: CPI year-over-year from the BLS index, the payroll change from the establishment survey, the FOMC decision from the statement with the daily policy-rate series as the check, GDP from the BEA release, and the rest from the agency series on FRED with the unit stated (percent change or level). The previous value is the prior period on the same basis.

Data checks. Every dataset is checked against its source once a day. This dataset passed the last run, 18 Sep 05:40 UTC.

How to read it

  • The surprise is the number: actual minus what was expected. There is no consensus column here, so compare the actual with the previous print and, for the Fed, with the policy-rate series.
  • FOMC decisions are shown as the midpoint of the target range. A move of 0.25 is one step.
  • The release time is the agency's own; an actual that is still empty an hour after it means the source series has not posted yet, not that the number was missed.

Analysis of what the data shows, not advice. XOOMAR does not recommend buying, selling or holding anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the schedule come from?
Directly from the agencies: the BLS release calendars, BEA's schedule, the Census Bureau's economic indicator calendar, the Fed's FOMC, G.17 and Beige Book pages, and the Thursday cadence of the Department of Labor's weekly claims. Synced weekly.
Why no forecast column?
Consensus forecasts come from paid surveys (Bloomberg, Reuters). No official free source publishes them, so we show previous and actual only.
When do actuals appear?
CPI and payrolls come from the BLS API within the hour of release; the other releases are filled from the agency series on FRED, usually within the hour. Each number carries its unit: CPI and PCE year over year, retail sales and durable goods month over month, claims and housing starts as levels.
What time zone are events in?
Displayed in US Eastern Time, since that's how the agencies schedule them. The API returns UTC timestamps.
Which events count as high importance?
CPI, PPI, the jobs report, weekly jobless claims, PCE, retail sales, FOMC rate decisions and the advance GDP estimate. Housing, durable goods, industrial production, JOLTS, trade and the FOMC minutes are medium; the rest low.
