# KenMacro Economic Events > KenMacro publishes preview guides for every market-moving macro event (NFP, CPI, FOMC, BoE, ECB, BoJ, PCE, PMIs, retail sales, geopolitical inflection points) with consensus expectations, what-to-watch frameworks, and historical reaction tendencies. Reactive coverage drops within two hours of release with cross-referenced print versus expectation analysis and immediate market reaction. Every reactive post passes the desk's fail-closed quality gate (sources must agree within 1.5 per cent before publication). Coverage is institutional in tone, never trade signals. ## About the author - [Ken Chigbo, Founder](https://kenmacro.com/ken-chigbo/): Institutional macro trader.
