What It Does

Every Sunday at 17:00 UTC, this workflow researches the full economic calendar for the coming week and sends a structured preview to Telegram. It covers Federal Reserve speeches, inflation data (CPI/PPI/PCE), jobs reports, GDP releases, major S&P 500 earnings, Treasury auctions, and global central bank decisions — each with an impact rating and one-line context. It wraps up with the single most important event of the week and the expected market tone.

Why It Matters

Retail investors and traders get blindsided by market-moving events they had no idea were coming. A surprise CPI print, an unexpected Fed comment, or a major earnings miss can move a portfolio 3–5% in minutes. This workflow gives you the full picture every Sunday evening so you walk into Monday knowing exactly what is on the calendar, what the consensus expects, and where the risk is. Five minutes of reading replaces an hour of research.

How It Works

  1. Scheduled Trigger — Fires every Sunday at 17:00 UTC.
  2. AI Agent — Searches the US and global economic calendar for the coming week. It classifies each event by impact level and covers all major data releases, earnings, auctions, and central bank decisions.
  3. Telegram Message — Delivers the structured plain-text calendar directly to your Telegram chat.
