Key Events to Watch
CPI (Consumer Price Index)
Monthly · 2nd or 3rd week
Most watched inflation gauge. Drives Fed rate expectations — "hot" CPI often sends stocks lower.
Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP)
Monthly · First Friday
Strongest job report. Strong jobs = sticky inflation = fewer rate cuts. Major market mover.
PCE Price Index
Monthly · Last Friday
The Fed's preferred inflation measure. Used directly in rate-setting decisions.
GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
Quarterly · Advance + 2 revisions
Broadest measure of economic health. Two consecutive negative quarters = recession.
Retail Sales
Monthly · Mid-month
Consumer spending drives 70% of US GDP. Beats push consumer stocks up; misses hurt them.
Initial Jobless Claims
Weekly · Every Thursday
Real-time labor market pulse. Spikes signal layoffs; used to spot turning points fast.
