Schedules: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (CPI, Employment Situation, PPI, JOLTS), Bureau of Economic Analysis (GDP, Personal Income and Outlays) and the Federal Reserve (FOMC; statement at 2:00 p.m. ET on the second day). Agencies occasionally revise dates — confirm on the agency calendar before relying on a specific time.

Why these releases matter

CPI is the headline inflation measure and the release that most often moves Treasury yields on the day. The jobs report (Employment Situation) carries nonfarm payrolls and the unemployment rate from two separate surveys. PCE inflation, released with Personal Income and Outlays, is the gauge the Federal Reserve targets. PPI tracks prices received by producers and feeds parts of PCE. JOLTS covers job openings, hires and quits. GDP is published three times per quarter as more data arrives.

The FOMC statement is released at 2:00 p.m. Eastern on the second day of each meeting, followed by the chair’s press conference. Four meetings a year also publish the Summary of Economic Projections, including the dot plot; those are marked in the table.

Release times

Most BLS and BEA releases come out at 8:30 a.m. Eastern, before the stock market opens, which is why futures and Treasury yields often move sharply at that time. JOLTS is released at 10:00 a.m. Countdowns on this page run in your browser in Eastern Time and adjust automatically for daylight saving time.
