Economic calendar: Market eyes FOMC minutes (08.10.2025)

Facade of Fed building
Key takeaways
Key takeaways
  • September FOMC minutes to be released at 7 PM BST.
  • EIA report will be published despite the shutdown.
  • Speeches from the Fed, ECB, and BoE are also scheduled.

Today’s session brings relatively few hard macroeconomic releases, with sentiment expected to be shaped largely by a series of scheduled speeches from central bankers.

Markets are mainly awaiting the minutes from the latest FOMC meeting, with sensitivity to U.S. monetary policy developments heightened by the ongoing government shutdown and the risk of delayed inflation data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The calendar also features speakers from the Fed, ECB, Bundesbank, Bank of Spain, and the Bank of England, as well as the rate decision from a Polish central bank.

The EIA fuel report will still be released despite the shutdown, in line with the October 1st announcement.
