Futures Calendar Recap, 25–29 May 2026: PCE inflation, GDP
Memorial Day on Monday, the EIA's crude report moved to Thursday noon, and first-quarter GDP's second estimate with April's PCE inflation on Thursday.
Monday 25 May was Memorial Day. The NYSE was closed; CME Globex traded, but the equity index futures halted early, at 12:00 p.m. CT (1:00 p.m. ET), and the day had no settlement.
The holiday moved the EIA's crude oil inventory report from Wednesday to Thursday 28 May at noon ET. The same morning, at 8:30 a.m. ET, the BEA published the second estimate of first-quarter GDP and April's personal income and outlays with the PCE inflation measure. The natural gas storage report kept its 10:30 a.m. slot that Thursday.
Wednesday 27 May was the last trading day for June natural gas (NGM6) and May silver (SIK6).
