What this page covers. Our calendar lists central bank rate decisions for the eight major currencies, the key US releases (CPI, jobs, PCE, GDP, retail sales, PPI) and inflation and jobs figures for the UK, Canada, the eurozone, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Swiss data releases are not included yet, so a short list here does not always mean a quiet week. For every release with forecasts and actual figures, use the live calendar on our economic calendar page.
Clock change this week. Clocks in UK and Europe go back one hour on Sunday 25 October, so sessions and release times shift by an hour against countries that don't change. The times below already account for it; see the forex time zone converter for your sessions.
