Values are the current numbers from the FRED database, i.e. including later revisions — they may not exactly match what appeared on screens on release day. For FOMC meetings, the resulting target range and its change in basis points are shown.
Why the macro calendar matters to BTC holders too
In recent years Bitcoin has traded as a risk asset sensitive to dollar liquidity. Inflation and labor-market data decide how fast the Fed cuts or raises rates — and the biggest price moves tend to come in the minutes after those releases. That's why this calendar mixes US statistics with FOMC meeting dates and the Fed Chair's public remarks — a Jackson Hole keynote or an ECB Sintra panel repricing rate expectations just as reliably as a meeting does.
CPI is the main consumer inflation gauge, PCE is the one the Fed officially targets, NFP shows the strength of the labor market, and PPI leads consumer prices by a few months. The dates come straight from the St. Louis Fed's FRED database and the Fed Board's own events calendar, so they match the agencies' official schedule. Times are shown in the Prague time zone (CET/CEST): statistics come out at 8:30 New York time, i.e. usually 14:30 CET, and FOMC decisions land at 14:00 ET, i.e. 20:00. For a few weeks a year, when US and European daylight saving don't overlap, the offset is an hour smaller — the calendar handles that for you.
