Econoday
econoday.com
Long-running economic calendar written by an in-house team of economists, with a free public calendar back to 2001 and paid email briefings.
What it is
Econoday is a California company that has built economic calendars for enterprise clients and individual investors. Its calendar lists US and international releases, central bank speakers, Treasury auctions and settlements, with release times you can switch to your own time zone. What sets it apart from aggregated calendars is the commentary: Econoday's own economists and reporters write event definitions, previews (Market Focus) and recaps (Market Reflections), and produce consensus forecasts.
The public calendar is free to browse in weekly or monthly views, with a filter and history going back to 2001. The paid Online Calendar Subscription adds real-time alerts, historical data with charts, enhanced consensus forecasts, central bank coverage in partnership with Mace News, and Econoday's Relative Performance Index (RPI), which measures how economies are doing against expectations. Its price is not published; Econoday asks you to request a trial or demo.
The other retail products are sold through Econoday's shop: a weekly Global Economics email briefing on 15 major economies ($120 a year or $75 for six months), a Daily Global Economic Review emailed at 5:30pm ET ($240 a year or $60 for three months), and a printed annual Economic Journal ($55).
