Economic Calendar
The dates that move the tape.
Nobody expects you to forecast CPI. They do expect you to know it prints next week. This is every release and rate decision that matters for the US, Eurozone and UK, taken from the agencies’ own published schedules rather than a data reseller.

How to actually use this
Before any interview, check what printed in the last week and what prints in the next one. If CPI landed on Tuesday, you should know the number and have a one-line view on it. If the Fed meets on Wednesday, you should know what the market expects. That is the entire trick, and almost nobody does it.
Knowing the calendar is step one. Having a view is step two.
A discovery session turns “CPI came in at 3.4%” into an answer with a thesis attached, which is the difference between a candidate who reads and a candidate who thinks.
