Earnings, Economic and Market Calendars
Scheduled events are the one kind of volatility you can see coming. Earnings reports, inflation and jobs data, Federal Reserve decisions, options expiration, FDA rulings and index rebalances all have dates, and holding a position through one without knowing it is an avoidable mistake.

-
Expectations data
A calendar is more useful with consensus estimates, the prior figure and, for earnings, the options-implied move.
-
Time zone and filters
Check that times display in your zone and that you can filter by country, importance and your own watchlist.
-
Go to the source
For economic data and Fed meetings, the official release schedules are free, authoritative and published a year ahead.
Calendars & Macro: common questions
Where can I find a free earnings calendar?
Many sites publish free earnings calendars with dates, report times and analyst estimates. The differences are whether dates are marked as confirmed, whether you can filter to a watchlist, and whether an expected move is shown.
Which economic releases move the stock market most?
In the US, the consumer price index, the monthly jobs report, Federal Reserve rate decisions and press conferences, GDP and the PCE price index tend to move markets most. All are scheduled well in advance.
When do monthly options expire?
Standard monthly equity options expire on the third Friday of each month. Weekly options expire on other Fridays, and index products such as SPX have expirations every trading day. The exchanges publish official expiration calendars.
