Actual refers to the actual figures after their release.

Briefing.com Forecast refers to Briefing.com's forecast.

Briefing.com Consensus represents the market consensus estimate for each indicator.

Prior represents the last actual for each indicator. In cases where the release is a revision to an earlier estimate, as is possible with GDP, productivity, and U of Michigan sentiment, the last actual refers to the preliminary estimate for the same period. After a report is released, the Prior column reflects the prior figure as revised.

The Revised From column lists the prior number as it was originally reported, ie before revision.

Not included: Mitsubishi and Redbook chain store indexes are released every Tuesday morning. M2 is released every Thursday at 16:30 ET.
