Economic Calendar: Map CPI, Fed, and Jobs Data to Your Holdings
Generic macro calendars tell you when data drops. Ripplora connects each high-impact event to your holdings — risk score, sentiment, and estimated 1–5 day moves per ticker.
Every active investor knows the macro calendar matters. CPI on Tuesday, Fed on Wednesday, jobs on Friday — the schedule is predictable. What's hard is knowing how each release affects your specific book. A hot inflation print might crush growth stocks you overweight, while your energy ETF barely moves.
Ripplora wires the economic calendar directly to your portfolio. High-impact events from Finnhub's live feed — CPI, PPI, FOMC, NFP, GDP, PMI, and more — appear alongside one-click AI impact analysis scoped to the tickers you actually hold.
What's in the macro calendar
- Real economic events synced from market data providers — not a static list
- Impact ratings (1–3 stars) so you can filter to high-impact releases only
- Today and this-week views for planning around known volatility windows
- Timezone display — events shown in your local time
- Country filters for US, EU, UK, and other major economies
Portfolio-weighted impact analysis
This is where Ripplora differs from a generic calendar. Tap Analyze on any event and AI evaluates your portfolio against the macro scenario:
- Risk score — how exposed your current weights are to the event outcome
- Sentiment read — bullish, bearish, or mixed for your book specifically
- Short-term outlook — what to watch in the 1–5 trading days after the release
- Medium-term outlook — structural implications if the data confirms a trend
- Per-ticker impact ranges — estimated percentage move bands for each holding
Impact ranges are portfolio-relative. If you hold 30% in tech and CPI comes in hot, the analysis weights that concentration — not a generic S&P read.
How to use the calendar before major releases
- Open Calendar and filter to high-impact (3-star) events for the week ahead.
- Before each release, run impact analysis on the event.
- Note which holdings show the widest estimated ranges — those are your sensitivity points.
- Cross-check with the Risk page for concentration and sector overlap.
- After the release, re-run analysis or check auto-generated macro alerts.
Calendar sync and freshness
Events sync automatically on a schedule and can be refreshed manually. If the feed is temporarily unavailable, the calendar falls back to curated mock data so the UI stays usable — but live sync is the default in production.
From calendar event to alert
When you open the calendar, Ripplora can auto-sync today's high-impact macro events into your alerts feed — with portfolio impact ranges attached. You don't have to remember to check; the terminal surfaces what matters for your holdings. See our guide on smart alerts for the full workflow.
Calendar and impact analysis are for research and education. Estimated ranges are AI-generated scenarios, not predictions or financial advice.
