An economic calendar lists scheduled data releases — inflation, jobs, GDP, central-bank decisions — with the time each one drops and the market's expectation going in. Markets move not on the number itself, but on the gap between the release and consensus. A CPI print of 0.3% is a non-event if 0.3% was expected, and a shock if the street looked for 0.1%.
The events marked ⭐ are the high-impact ones — the releases most likely to move yields, the dollar and risk assets in the minutes after they print. The Previous column is last period's figure; Consensus is the median forecast. All times are Central European Time (CET), Barcelona's clock.
For the macro picture, the heavyweights are US CPI and PPI (the inflation read the Fed reacts to), Nonfarm Payrolls and the unemployment rate (the labour side of the Fed's mandate), and any FOMC decision or Powell appearance. On the euro-area side, the ECB rate decision, flash HICP inflation and the German ZEW/Ifo sentiment surveys carry the most weight.
