Release window

Where GDP (Third Estimate) lands in the trading day

8:30 AM

4:00 AM 9:30 AM open 4:00 PM close 8:00 PM

1 hour before the 9:30 AM Eastern U.S. equity open, so the figure is public before the first trade of the session rather than during it.

What it measures

GDP (Third Estimate), in one paragraph

The third estimate is the last routine revision of a quarter before annual updates, published about three months after the quarter ends, together with industry detail and state-level figures.

What JMM reads first

By this vintage the growth rate is close to final and rarely moves markets, which is exactly why it is the version worth using for anything analytical. The industry and state detail released with it answers questions the headline cannot: which parts of the economy actually produced the quarter.

Event record

Every clock JMM stores for this record

Status: ScheduledThe official source calendar lists this release ahead of the last collection run.
Period covered: August 2026
Schedule basis: Stated by the sourceBoth the dates and the release instants are stated by the BEA calendar subscription file itself, which carries an Eastern timezone and one entry per release. Most entries are 8:30 a.m. Eastern and the file states a later time for a few, which is why each page takes its clock from its own entry rather than from a rule. Nothing here is derived.
Effective period: Not specified by source
Scheduled time: Sep 30, 2026, 8:30 AM EDT
JMM retrieval: Aug 14, 2026, 8:17 AM EDT
Forecast connection: None published A published JMM question that settles on this record would freeze its probability before the time above.

The release clock

BEA publishes at 2 times of day, and this is one of them

8:30 AM ET 38
10:00 AM ET 1

Every one of the 39 dated BEA entries JMM holds lands on one of these 2 clock times. This release uses the busier of the two: 38 entries across 6 releases, 97% of the calendar. It is a pre-open slot: the figures are public before the U.S. equity session starts. Read in UTC the same slot would look like 2 different habits, because the published file carries a real timezone: the release holds 8:30 AM Eastern through daylight saving and it is the UTC instant that moves. Grouping on the publisher's own clock is what keeps that one habit one row.
