USA Market Event Guide
Earnings Season
US company earnings follow calendar quarters (Q1 Jan–Mar, Q2 Apr–Jun, Q3 Jul–Sep, Q4 Oct–Dec). Season peaks 2–5 weeks after quarter end. The S&P 500 earnings season is led by major banks (JPM, BAC) then big tech (Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Meta).
Economic Events
Key US macro events include FOMC rate decisions (8 per year), CPI inflation, Non-Farm Payrolls (first Friday of each month), PCE deflator, GDP advance estimate, ISM Manufacturing and Services PMI. These events drive VIX, rates and global equity moves.
Dividend Calendar
US dividend payers like Apple, Microsoft, JPMorgan, Walmart and ExxonMobil have quarterly dividend schedules. The ex-dividend date is critical — shares must be held on that date to qualify for the next dividend payment.
Frequently Asked Questions — USA Calendar
When does US earnings season start?
Q1 earnings season starts mid-April; Q2 in mid-July; Q3 in mid-October; Q4 in mid-January. Major banks like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo traditionally kick off each season.
Why are FOMC meetings important for stock markets?
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) sets the federal funds rate. Rate decisions and forward guidance from the Fed directly affect equity valuations, credit spreads and currency moves globally.
What is Non-Farm Payrolls and why does it move markets?
NFP is the monthly US jobs report released the first Friday of each month. A stronger-than-expected NFP can signal Fed hawkishness; a miss can signal recession risk. Both scenarios cause broad market moves.
How do I use the US dividend calendar?
Filter by 'Dividends' and country 'USA' to see upcoming ex-dates. Shares must be purchased before the ex-dividend date to receive that quarter's dividend from names like AAPL, MSFT, JPM or WMT.
