• GDP (Gross Domestic Product): quarterly, e.g., EU, USA, and Germany usually around the middle to end of the quarter or shortly thereafter

• Consumer Price Index (Inflation): monthly, often in the middle of the following month, e.g., CPI USA at 14:30

• Purchasing Managers' Indices (PMI): monthly, usually on the first or second day of the month, e.g., EU, USA, China

• Trade balance & industrial production: monthly, spread throughout the month, often in the morning between 8:00–10:00

• Interest rate decisions of central banks: irregularly timed but announced, e.g., Fed, ECB, BoJ on specific dates

• Energy and commodity data: often weekly or monthly, e.g., weekly US crude oil inventories on Wednesday afternoons
