Economic Calendar: U.S. GDP Revision, EIA Report, Central Bankers’ Speeches (29.05.2025)

The night brought euphoria following Nvidia’s earnings and a completely new reality in trade relations, after the U.S. Court of International Trade blocked parts of the tariffs imposed via Donald Trump’s executive orders. Declared illegal were the global 10% tariff and the so-called fentanyl tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico. The Trump administration has already announced it will appeal, but the market is expected to remain sensitive to aggressive rhetoric on the matter.

The most important data scheduled for today is the revised U.S. GDP reading for Q1 2025. The previous decline was driven by record imports, prompted by fears of higher rates ahead of tariff implementation. A potential reduction in data noise may provide fresh insight into the U.S. economy.

In addition to GDP, markets await the recently stable U.S. jobless claims data, speeches from Fed and BoE members, and the EIA report, which is especially relevant in light of recent oil market volatility.
