One page for every release that moves gold
Economic calendars tell you when a release lands. These pages add the part gold traders actually need: what gold did the last 12 times it came out, measured from real hourly COMEX gold prices, next to the next release date in your own time zone. Pick a release in the table above to see its history, why it moves gold and how traders prepare for it.
How these pages differ from the calendar and the event centre
- The economic calendar lists every confirmed release for the coming weeks, with times in your zone and the official source on every row.
- The event centre shows the next three weeks and hour-by-hour candles of the very latest releases.
- The event pages go deep on one release type at a time: schedule, mechanism, 12 releases of gold reactions with summary statistics, and an “Add to calendar” file for the next one.
How the numbers are calculated
Release dates are checked on the publisher’s own schedule or release archive: the Federal Reserve, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Census Bureau, the Institute for Supply Management and the Department of Labor. Gold prices are COMEX gold futures (GC=F) 1-hour bars via Yahoo Finance. The release hour is the 1-hour bar that contains the release time, measured from the close of the hour before; the session is the COMEX trading day the release falls in, from 6 pm New York the evening before to 5 pm New York, compared with the previous session’s close. When two releases come out at the same minute (for example GDP and PCE), both pages show the same combined move and say so. If an exchange holiday closed COMEX at the release time, that release is left out and named under the table. Nothing is estimated or filled in.
We do not show consensus forecasts: they come from commercial surveys we cannot republish. Markets react to the surprise against those forecasts, so a big move tells you how sensitive gold was, not which way the next one will go.
Get reminded before a release
Every event page has an Add to calendar file and a Google Calendar link for its next release, with a reminder 15 minutes before. For a daily nudge, Gold Daily lists the next big event in your time zone once a day, Mon–Sat. For this week’s events and levels on one page, see the weekly gold cheat sheet; for the dollar, yields and stocks gold reacts to, the market scoreboard.
Frequently asked questions
Which US releases move gold the most?
Usually the FOMC rate decision, CPI, the jobs report (NFP) and PCE inflation, because they change expected US interest rates, real yields and the dollar. The table above shows the average release-hour move for each, from real prices.
How is gold's reaction measured?
From COMEX gold futures (GC=F) 1-hour bars via Yahoo Finance: the move in the 1-hour bar that contains the release (from the close of the hour before) and the close-to-close move of the COMEX session, with each range.
Are the release dates official?
Yes. Every date comes from the publisher’s own schedule or release archive. Dates we could not verify are left out, and a page says so if it shows fewer than 12 releases.
Are the times shown in my time zone?
Yes. Next-release times are converted in your browser to your own time zone and the zone is named next to each time.
Can I get alerts for these events?
Each event page has an Add to calendar file and a Google Calendar link for the next release. Gold Daily, our free email, lists the next big event once a day, Mon–Sat.
