About Market Catalysts

Market Catalysts is a calendar of scheduled events that tend to move US markets: inflation and jobs data, growth figures, Federal Reserve decisions, Treasury auctions and the dates when options expire or indexes rebalance.

For each event it answers three questions: when it happens in US Eastern time, where the date comes from, and why traders pay attention to it. The calendar currently tracks 21 catalyst types. The dates are collected by an automated script that reads official schedules once a day, and the explainers are written for general background.

What you will find here

• A page for every scheduled event, with its time, reference period, date status and a link to the publisher's schedule.
• A page for every catalyst type with all upcoming and past dates, and recent readings where an official free data source exists.
• Calendar feeds you can subscribe to in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook, plus a public events.json file and an RSS feed.

What this site is not

The site does not publish forecasts, trade ideas or commentary on what a release will show, and it makes no claim that every date is correct: publishers move dates, and some dates here are computed from a rule rather than announced. It is information only. Read the disclaimer and the methodology for how dates are gathered.
