Where these dates come from
Every row is read from the primary publisher: the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Economic Analysis and Census Bureau release schedules, the Federal Reserve FOMC calendar, TreasuryDirect’s upcoming-auction feed, and CME Group’s gold and silver product calendars. Nothing is taken from a third-party aggregator.
No consensus estimates appear anywhere on this page. Consensus is licensed data; the schedule, the prior reading and the actual reading are public facts. Actual readings fill in from the agency release after it lands.
COMEX option-expiry, first-notice and last-trade dates are computed from the exchange rules and compared with CME Group’s own published calendar. A disagreement stops the publish rather than showing either value.
Times are Eastern Time, the clock the US market keeps. Where your device is in another zone, the local time is added beside the ET time.
Fed speakers and other one-off events are curated by hand from the Federal Reserve’s public calendar and refreshed weekly. The absence of a speaker line means none was listed at the last refresh, not that none will occur.
