Frequently asked questions
- What is an economic calendar?
- An economic calendar lists scheduled U.S. government and private-sector data releases — inflation, jobs, growth and Federal Reserve decisions — with their release date, time and consensus forecast.
- What time zone are the release times in?
- All times are shown in U.S. Eastern Time, the time zone the issuing agencies publish in, and are resolved from official agency schedules where one exists.
- Which economic releases move markets most?
- CPI, the monthly jobs report, PCE inflation and FOMC rate decisions consistently produce the largest reactions because they shape interest-rate expectations.
- Is the economic calendar free?
- Yes. Dates, times, forecasts and previous readings are free to everyone. Hyper Terminal members also get impact scoring and pre-release context.
