1. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Meeting The FOMC holds eight meetings per year to review the economic and financial conditions in the U.S, and determine the appropriate stance of monetary policy and interest rates.
2. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) An economic indicator released quarterly that measures the value of all goods and services produced by the economy within its boundaries and is the nation's broadest gauge of economic health.
3. Producer Price Index (PPI) An economic indicator that measures the monthly change in wholesale prices. Economists look at trends in the PPI as an accurate precursor to changes in the CPI.
4. Housing Starts The start of construction of new residential units is important as it mirrors a builder's commitment with their new construction activity.
5. Jobless Claims This report is compiled weekly and tracks the number of people who filed for unemployment for their first time. It is a good gauge of the U.S. job market.
6. Retail Sales The regional and national retail sales, by type of business, are important as they are major economic indicators of spending by consumers.
