Futures Calendar Recap, 27–31 July 2026: Fed rate decision, PCE inflation, GDP
The Fed's decision on Wednesday, second-quarter GDP and June's PCE inflation on Thursday, and August natural gas and July silver expiring on Wednesday.
The Fed's meeting ended on Wednesday 29 July: the statement at 2:00 p.m. ET and the press conference at 2:30. It was not a projections meeting.
On Thursday 30 July at 8:30 a.m. ET the BEA published the advance estimate of second-quarter GDP and June's personal income and outlays, which carries the PCE inflation measure.
Wednesday 29 July was also the last trading day for August natural gas (NGQ6) and July silver (SIN6). July's jobs report followed on Friday 7 August.
