The calendar was light until Friday 8 May, when the BLS published April's employment report at 8:30 a.m. ET: early afternoon in Europe, late evening in Asia. Nothing else from the Fed, the BLS or the BEA was scheduled.
The energy reports kept their usual times, Wednesday and Thursday at 10:30 a.m. ET. April's consumer and producer prices followed on Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 May.
