# 📅 Federal Reserve Policy & Meetings
These are key because interest rate expectations and Fed signaling strongly influence stocks and bonds:
* **Mar 17–18, 2026:** *Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting* — interest rate decision and statement release.
* **Apr 28–29, 2026:** *FOMC meeting* — another key policy meeting with projections and commentary.
* **Jun 16–17, 2026:** *FOMC meeting* — potentially another rate decision and press conference.
These meetings typically include interest rate decisions and sometimes press conferences by Fed officials — all of which can move equity and bond markets.
# 📊 Economic & Policy Conferences
These aren’t always directly market moving, but they’re worth watching for macro insights:
* **Mar 26, 2026:** Federal Reserve *Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act (EGRPRA)* public meeting.
* **Apr 17–18, 2026:** *DC Search & Matching Workshop* — Fed research event.
* **May 7–8, 2026:** *Vienna Global Macro Workshop* on macroeconomics (European Central Bank & Fed research).
# 📈 Earnings & Corporate Events
Earnings calendars shift daily, but large banks and tech companies are always catalysts:
* Wall Street earnings seasons typically feature major reports from banks, tech firms, and industrials that can move broad indices — JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, as well as big tech during reporting windows.
* Corporate dividends, stock splits, IPO pricing days, and earnings reports are also part of the weekly market calendar.
**📉 Economic Data Releases**
These can change short-term market sentiment:
* Producer Price Index (PPI), Consumer Price Index (CPI), retail sales, jobs reports, GDP releases, and employment data are all regularly scheduled and widely watched.
