Calendar

The releases that move the numbers we publish — US data, the major central banks, and Kuwait and GCC events. Times are shown in Kuwait local, UTC+3, unless you pick another zone. Our own forecasts and how they scored against each print live in the scored record.

Sources  ·  Release dates come from the published BLS, BEA, Federal Reserve, ECB, Bank of Japan and University of Michigan schedules. Rows marked “~” are the ones whose issuing body publishes no fixed forward calendar — Kuwaiti releases and OPEC+ meetings — and sit on the measured typical lag.

Economic calendar 2026 — US releases, central bank decisions and Kuwait events
Time Region Event Period Impact

US dates follow the published BLS, BEA and Federal Reserve schedules, and the ECB and Bank of Japan dates their own published 2026 calendars. Kuwait releases follow the Central Bank of Kuwait and the Central Statistical Bureau, neither of which publishes a fixed forward calendar: those rows are placed on the measured median lag from the reference month — about 23 days for the CBK bulletin and 21 for the consumer price index — and shifted off the Friday-Saturday Kuwaiti weekend. Times default to Kuwait local, UTC+3, with the issuing body's own release time beneath it — US Eastern for Washington releases and Central European for the ECB, each converted at the daylight-saving rule in force on the day. Kuwait does not observe daylight saving, so the offset from those zones shifts twice a year. Where a body announces at no fixed hour — the Bank of Japan, and the Kuwaiti and OPEC+ events — no clock time is shown rather than a guessed one.
