Medium- and high-impact USD releases; dates and times (ET) from each publisher’s official release calendar (BLS, BEA, Census, DOL, Federal Reserve, ISM, S&P Global, UMich, Conference Board, NAR, NY Fed, Philadelphia Fed; checked 2026-11-06). Times can change; follow the source link for the release itself.
Actual counts down to the release time, then shows the official figure. Agency data (BLS, BEA, Census, DOL, Federal Reserve Board, NY Fed) is read directly from the agency. For S&P Global, UMich, the Conference Board, NAR and the Philadelphia Fed we show only the single headline figure, credited and linked to the publisher's release. ISM figures aren't shown: follow the release link. Colors: green is stronger than our estimate (or the previous figure when we have no estimate) and red is weaker. For jobless claims, a higher number is red. Inflation readings stay neutral. ▲/▼ shows the direction. ThetaGrade Est. is our own model estimate, built from free official data only. It is not a consensus, and we only show it for series where our 24-month backtest beat a “same as last time” baseline. Open the folder icon on any row for details (checked 2026-11-06 08:35 ET).
