Economic Calendar

The events that move markets: Fed rate decisions, inflation reports (CPI, PCE), payroll, GDP and other indicators. Each item shows market expectations vs. the actual result.

How to read it & why it matters

Why it matters: 90% of big moves happen around these events. A CPI above expectations sinks stocks and lifts yields; a weak payroll does the opposite. Knowing what is ahead lets you anticipate volatility — the calendar is the investor's treasure map. Watch for: Fed (decisions and speeches), CPI, Payroll and PCE.
